I used this during small group instruction with my low babies. They often struggle determining if a problem is division or multiplication. Thank you so much for this resource! It really is super helpful!

Could be a good resource, but there were mistakes on the word problems for division (Class Party) such as 32/5 and 11/2

Thank you for your purchase and review. The problems you mentioned are not mistakes. The page Class Parties includes remainders as described in the Table of Contents. There are 5 pages in this resource that do not include remainders
