Here's what others have to say about Daily Problem Solving...

♥  My students benefited tremendously when I began using these! Their confidence lacked when it came to word problems, but having one every day became routine and their confidence grew. The reflection at the end of the week told me a lot about how students were feeling, too. I also love how they aligned with holidays and true information… - Jennifer H

I am obsessed with this set! My students love it, I love it, and after walking through my room when I was doing this whole group my Principal now loves it! Fantastically rigorous problems! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! - T.L.

AMAZING RESOURCE! I have my kiddos do daily math each week but wanted to incorporate more word problems.  I staple this each week to their original daily math page.  The problems are diverse and challenging.  I love how many skills are covered and how they are multi-step.  Perfect!! - Samantha M. 

I absolutely LOVE this product! I cannot say enough good things about it. It is rigorous and covers so many of our critical standards. I start each math lesson with this as a warm-up. As the students come in for math they get started on it and then we go over it together. I like that it has a reflection at the end so my kids think about what skills they have mastered and which ones they still need to work on. I like the monthly theme with the little fact. So fun! -Rebecca R.

My focus this year was problem solving and this was such an amazing no prep resource to help my students get the practice they need. We completed them together for the first couple weeks and discussed strategies. Eventually, I gave them the week to complete all five independently and then "quizzed" them on two of them on Fridays. They would then self-check the other three on Fridays as well. The only reason for taking off a star (I would take off just a half if I could) is that the answer keys had errors so I did have to create new keys so students could self-check at the end of the week.
