Description

These critical thinking activities by Pamela Brock engage students in problem solving activities including reading and interpreting graphs, guess and check, writing equations, making tables, process of elimination, comparing numbers, place value, multiplication and order of operations. Students are motivated, due to the football theme, but problems can be solved, even with no knowledge of football. It is perfect as a review to use during football season, around the Super Bowl or anytime. It is geared for students in grades 4 - 6. Because some of the problems are more involved, it can be used in one sitting or can be broken up and used in more than one sitting. It is especially conducive to group work/group problem solving. An answer key is included. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.
