Word problems are always more of a challenge than just mere computation.
Thinking Blocks is a website that specializes in presenting word problems in a format that allows students to easily model and compute the information in a step by step format. You can choose from addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and ratio problems. The great thing about this site is that you can do a problem yourself or you can watch a problem solved correctly by the computer. It also makes for a great interactive whiteboard activity since you can easily make it full screen. This would be recommended for intermediate grade levels, but could always be used as a quick review activity in a jr. high setting. Did someone say math extended response practice?
