Box Paper With Extra's: Promoting Step by Step Solutions
Awesome box paper worksheet so that students can more easily show their work.
I created the following box paper keeping two things in mind:
1) Students need help keeping their work boxed together
2) Some students finish faster than others.
You can see that each box represents a place for your students to show their work and the sheet is full of mazes, math questions and other things to keep your students busy if they finish early.
