Description

These math word problems are the perfect addition to your math centers. Designed for 5th grade in mind, this will require students to solve problems and answer questions that help with their reasoning skills (i.e. prove you are correct, how do you know your answer is reasonable, use a 2nd strategy to show the solution to the problem, etc)

In this resource you will receive 2 versions of each prompt. Version 1 include the questions only. Version 2 includes scaffolds to help your struggling learners. This will make differentiation a breeze!I give my students 2 of these every week on the same skill as part of their math centers.

I use this resource in my centers every week! It saves so much time and I always know my students are getting rigorous problems that require critical thinking.

Word problems are such a pain- but when you work on one or two at a time in a small group- they're less painful and more productive! I used this resource in a small group enviornment to reinforce not only our current unit, but also problem solving skills. I set one problem per skill aside, however, to use as a reivew before EOGs.
