Whether you call them "open ended math challenges" or "real world problem solving tasks" or "rich math tasks", engaging math problems that apply multiple standards are not easy to find. In fact, if you are looking for challenging math problems and tasks that keep your students engaged, apply the math you have taught, and meet your math standards--I can help you out!

My guess is that you are looking for a low-prep, ready-to-print (or send digitally) math project that has just the right amount of challenge and is engaging for your students while being tied to your curriculum standards.

This low floor, high ceiling resource is for you! You might have seen these individual sets--some of my BEST selling problem solving resources. Now that set 6 is complete, I have bundled ALL SIX SETS together to give you all three in one resource at a greatly reduced price!

AND NOW, EACH SET INCLUDES DIGITAL SLIDES FOR ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY!

This set of 18 challenges (6 sets of 3 tasks) can be used in a number of ways…as whole class explorations, as small group challenges, or as independent work for those students need something more. In my classroom, these are whole-class explorations where students work in teams, share ideas, guess and check their ideas—and then present their solutions.

The problem solving and math applications are high level and meaningful. See what you think! Three separate challenges are included, each taking several class periods. For each of the sets, the preview helps you see exactly what math is used in each challenge. For some, metric pages are included as well for those teachers teaching outside the U.S.!

Appropriate for grades 3-5—depending on skill level and level of support offered. Download the preview to see exactly what you get--I don't think you will be disappointed. You can see exactly what problems are included in each individual listing.
