Here’s what teachers are saying:

✏️ "As a teacher, I love this resource. It is engaging, and encourages and allows for a variety of problem solving skills. This has been a life saver multiple times when we need to go to plan B with technology issues. My students even request "The Detective Game" as a Fun Day Friday activity." -Alisha W.

✏️ "I love these. They are great for getting your students to really look at the problems and decide what they are trying to find and what information they need. I have them underline the information and then go back and highlight with different colors for each question. This is a great tool for teaching how to determine operation and paying attention to information." -Vicki Q.

✏️ "I used this pack as an escape room challenge type activity for my students! They loved it! It was highly engaging and really showed which kids understood how to solve word problems." -Renee R.

I love that this resource has audio support to help my students with solving these problems. Some of my students are not strong readers and benefit from the audio support to read the problem aloud so they can focus on the task of solving the problem.
