What’s unique about this pack?
With the exception of task four, each problem has similar problems labeled with an A, B, or C. The “A” problem type represents the easier/easiest problem of the group. The “B” problem type represents a more challenging task, and a “C” problem type is the most difficult task of the set.
This pack also includes a detailed answer key with sample solution strategies for each task.
How to Use this Resource in the Classroom
While there is not a specific strategy that must be used to solve each problem, there are strategies that would be considered more efficient than others. This is an excellent time for students to share their solution strategies with others and expand their problem-solving toolboxes.
