Description
This 6th Grade multistep math word problem warm up is the perfect way to build a Story Problem of the Day test prep routine around multi-step math word problems without overwhelming struggling or reluctant learners.
Problem solving is one of the most challenging skills we teach in math. Research shows the best way to build these skills is through short, purposeful daily practice with both single- and multi-step word problems. These themed math story problems are provided in a digital format via Google Slides.
Designed to take less than 15 minutes per day - including giving students time to solve, discuss, and review - each month's problems include single-step, multi-step, and word problems with extra information. This helps build students' capacity for critical thinking and mathematical problem-solving skills.
The problems increase in complexity across the months. This is purposefully done to help prepare students for the types of problems they may see on state tests and as they move through middle school math classes.
This 6th Grade Math Problem of the Day Bundle includes:
✔A Full Year of Digital Problem of the Day
- 59 weeks of word problems via Google Slides (12 months)
- Nearly 300 word problems in all

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