I use these task cards as students are working with place value activities in small groups. These depth and complexity questions have students thinking about place value like they never have before, including how it's changed over time and place value's importance in our daily lives.

This project gives students real world scenarios on budgeting and following specific directions. Students will be adding money to find costs of ingredients to make different Thanksgiving dishes and determining how they can stay within a given budget.

Students will be practicing converting improper fractions to mixed numbers while practicing reading recipes. This reaches across disciplines because students are practicing with procedural texts as well as applying math. Students will also be answering depth and complexity questions using the recipe.

This menu allows students to have the power of choice while digging deeper into 2D and 3D shape attributes and their uses in the real world.

Students will use these questions to dig deeper into shape attributes.

Students will read through different real world scenarios. As they are solving the problems, students will have to add or subtract fractions and draw models to represent the fractions.

This math exemplar has students applying word problem solving skills to real life examples. It also has them explaining the solving concept as a teacher.

These multi-step task cards include numbers into the thousands for students to complete.

Students will compete in a game of battleship using place value language.

These are the specific parameters students will need to follow when making their Thanksgiving boxes.
