Here's what teachers say about this resource:
♥ These have been very helpful to provide the students with much-needed problem-solving practice. It's challenging but short and sweet, so the students don't get discouraged - built-in "struggle time" that they need and try to avoid! It ensures I get some problem solving in regularly, even if we don't get to this every day. Thank you for this product! - Jacqueline T.
♥ 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 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.
♥ This was a game-changer. My students hate/or are afraid of word problems. We do these problems as a math bell ringer and then we go over them together. The best part for me was seeing them go from sitting there staring at the wall to actually TRYING to do the problems themselves. They made mistakes, but they tried! The kids love that each week has a theme. Thank you! - D.M.
