NINE problem solving monthly units are bundled together for one low price. Countdown the months with a problem of the day. Students keep a folder with a monthly calendar, problem solving strategies, and a problem for each day of the month. Problems are often multi-step and require some thinking. Excellent for individual work (differentiating within your class), whole or small group, math tasks, centers, or simply a task of the day to tackle. Work hand in hand with Common Core because students are required to apply the skills they've acquired. Unit includes nine monthly themed calendars, 30 focused word problems for each of the 9 months (Sept-May) answer sheet for teachers, adorable monster themed "steps to problem solving" mini posters, and photos of project put together. All you need are the file folders. Happy problem solving September through May! **Created for 3rd grade in mind, but great challenges for super high flyers in 2nd and/or reviews or steady practice for 4th.
