In this activity, students create their own story problems by drawing an operation card, number card, and setting card, and then writing a story problem using what they drew. This product was designed after reading Debbie Diller's Math Work Stations book but could be used for a variety of math centers or activities. This can also be adapted to multiple grade levels by removing the multiplication and division operation cards.
My students really enjoyed this activity. I put the different "parts" into plastic pumpkins and they picked one from each pumpkin to write their story. Fun learning activity.

This is a great enrichment center - perfect for my G/T kids! Thanks for making such a great resource!
I've been teaching for 8 years and think I have the best job in the world! I've taught 3rd and 4th grades and love developing curriculum and activities for my students.
