Are you looking for challenging math problems that keep your students engaged, apply the math you have taught, and meet the standards of the Common Core or other rigorous math standards? Looking for a short, ready to print problem solving "project" that can make for a meaningful math lesson? Want to help nurture a growth mindset about math?

NOW WITH DIGITAL SLIDES FOR OPTIMUM FLEXIBILITY!

This 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 sets 4, 5, and 6 together to give you all three in one resource at a greatly reduced price! If you already own one of these resources, please do not purchase this bundle. Thank you! (Want all 6? Check out the link below for that as well!)

This set of 9 challenges (3 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 needed 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.
