Do your first grade students need more practice developing their problem-solving skills? These low-prep task cards relate grade one math concepts - addition and subtraction within 20 - to the real world with word problems in a school theme. Worksheets are also included for students to record their answers, and model writing complete sentences for a response.

Use these cards as a math center, for early finishers, or whole group activity! With a combination of addition and subtraction, your students will be encouraged to carefully read through each word problem, and not just recognize a pattern with the answers.

✓ 24 task cards - one set in black & white, and one set in color

✓ Full-screen version of cards to project or use on iPads/tablets

✓ 3 worksheet options to fill in answers for task cards

- First option with boxes to show work and an answer sentence written, for students to fill in the number

- Second option with an empty box for students to show their work, and write their own answer sentences.

- Third option with smaller empty boxes to fit all on one page.

✓ Extra space worksheet - to show student work

✓ Problem-solving mat (can be laminated and re-used for each card)

✓ Answer key for easy correction

Save time having to think of a word problem yourself or on the fly during a lesson by grabbing this resource!

✎ How To Use These Task Cards:

• Print the task cards, laminate, and use in the following ways:
  • Math station or center
  • Around the room/scoot activity (place task cards around the room, give students a clipboard & worksheet and have them go around answering each card)
• Full-screen version
  • For a very minimal prep option, print & copy the worksheets for your students. Project the full-screen task cards on your board, or have students work with a tablet/iPad.
  • Great option for morning work, math warm-up for small groups, or for early finishers.
• Print & laminate the “Problem Solving Mat.” Have students write with a dry erase marker and re-use to solve each task card.
