Description

Area and perimeter activities that go beyond the worksheet! Your students will love to "build" the playground as they solve these area and perimeter task card word problems. These problem-solving task cards that build upon each other are just what you need to have your students practicing problem-solving carefully!

These task cards include word problems that build upon one another and require accuracy from students.

Problems review third-grade standards include working with fractions, area, perimeter, estimation, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, and two-step problem-solving.

There are 24 task cards in all.

Students must correctly solve each task card, as solutions from each task card are needed to solve other task card problems. With a real-world theme of building a school playground, the problems are highly engaging for students.

This product includes BOTH printable and digital versions.
