Are you looking for challenging math performance tasks that keep your students engaged, apply the math you have taught, and meet the standards of the Common Core or other rigorous math standards? Are you too busy to do this on your own? I've got your back!

Based on a "real life" math blog post, this freebie gives you the photographs of the store at an apple orchard and the problem solving task of spending $20! There is a table to fill in with purchases and a page of challenge problems as well. Whether used in conjunction with other fall activities, as a simple and easy sub plan, or just for fun--this freebie asks students to solve a problem with multiple solutions!

NOW WITH DIGITAL SLIDES AS WELL!

Perfect for when you...

• need something for fast finishers
• want something easy for a sub
• are between units and want to focus on problem solving
• have an observation and want to showcase high level thinking
• want to work on collaborative work and math talk
• need something for a math station or math workshop
• need to send quality problems to students digitally

Appropriate for grades 3-5—depending on skill level and level of support offered.
