Have you watched your 4th graders melt down over multistep word problems? It doesn't have to be that way! This Superhero resource uses cartoons and fun situations to think through one problem at a time. PowerPoints are perfect to use as a group project for critical thinking, and critical thinking is exactly what kids need to do with multistep word problems!

Special Features of this PowerPoint Resource:

• 40 PowerPoint slides
• Two extra slides for printing are included: one for computation by students, the second, a step-by-step guide on solving word problems
• Superhero theme (Super Woman, Rubber Man, Tiny Woman and more)
• Covers all areas of standard 4OA.A3, including multistep word problems, dealing with remainders, equations with a letter for an unknown quantity, rounding and estimation, and using guess and check to assess the reasonableness of answers.
• Easy to drop into any lesson plan...means it saves you TIME!
• Includes teacher notes full of suggestions on using this PowerPoint
• This resource is in PowerPoint which allows you to move it into your Google Slides if you choose. You may also take out slides, take out the answers (if you choose to use the resource as a quiz or pre/post test) or rearrange slides. The background and questions can not be altered.

Using this PowerPoint in Your Classroom

• As a Teaching Tool:

As you teach word problem strategies, ask students to come to the Power Point presentation, and use the strategy to demonstrate how to find the answer on the board/wall. Click once for the question, click again to see the answer.

• For Review:

Divide your class into two teams. Go back and forth giving each team every other slide. Each team must work together to find the answer, as well as tell the strategy they used. Click to check the correct answer.

• For Evaluation:

Show each slide to students. Students figure out the answer, write it on an answer sheet, then check the answer with a second click.

This resource is not only useful in Common Core classrooms, but in any classroom where math word problems are taught.
