Looking for 4th grade multi step word problems that spiral through place value, rounding, and multi-digit operations all year? This mixed review routine gives your students one challenging problem to dig into over five days, building problem solving stamina along the way.

Problem of the Week uses multi step word problems to review 4th grade math skills like place value relationships, comparing and rounding whole numbers, adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers, and multiplying and dividing whole numbers. This easy-to-prep routine uses one problem per week and encourages students to persevere, engage with a single problem over multiple days, give and receive feedback from peers, and revise their work. It's perfect as a daily math warm up or mixed review.

Here's what you'll get:

• 26 multi step word problems (covering standards from 4.NBT)
• Teaching notes for how to implement Problem of the Week step by step
• Student directions to display daily (digital or printable)
• Bonus mini anchor chart: “I’m Stuck! Now What?”
• Detailed answer key for each problem

You and your students will love this problem solving daily routine. Use the problems to review previously taught material, as a math warm up, to introduce a new skill or strategy, or to informally assess what students have learned.

Prep is quick and easy... Just choose the format you like best (half sheet or paper saving strip), print, and copy and you are ready to go! Print the daily directions or project them using Google slides.
