To truly prepare our kids for the future, we have to teach them to think. Not every question has just one right answer. This can be very frustrating for kids, so the sooner we prepare them for this, the more comfortable they will be.

This packet is based on a problem-solving training I attended. These problems are open-ended, meaning there can be more than one right answer.

Realizing kids are different, I've included a variety of versions of the problems for easy differentiation.

-Original problems

-Problems without numbers

-Larger print

-QR Codes for Oral Administration/Blended Learning

(The full product also includes a version with web addresses for Oral Administration/Blended Learning)

Providing manipulatives for the students to use while solving the problems can help spark their thinking. I've included printable ten frames and a bar graph in this freebie.

(The full product also includes additional versions of the bar graphs, base 10 blocks, and number lines.)

Thank you and have a great day!
