Improve problem-solving skills with these 3rd-grade multiplication and division writing prompts! These math writing prompts were created to bolster students' understanding of basic multiplication and division concepts and to amplify their problem-solving capabilities. 

Understand Your Students' Depth of Understanding

By explaining the process for finding a solution, students are able to solidify their thinking, and you will have valuable information about their understanding of the topic. This is a great tool for assessing a student’s depth of understanding.

Increase Problem Solving Understanding

Encourage students to take their problem solving abilities to the next level by having them create their own word problems. By writing their own problems, students become more adept at solving problems written by others and are better prepared for standardized testing.

These math writing prompts are ideal for daily math warm-ups, centers, exit tickets, and interactive journals.
