Six sets of multi-step word problems, 8 word problems in each set (with answer keys). Three sets are addition and subtraction only. Three sets are mixed operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Word problems align to CCSS 4OA3 and 4th grade expectations for computation, but could be used in a 3rd grade or 5th grade classroom depending on the ability of the students. Problems can easily be cut out and glued to lined paper and can be used as group-work, exit slips, or as

This is a set of four themed word problems involving the addition and subtraction of mixed numbers/fractions and reasoning about size when adding. These slides can be given as independent work or as small group work. The elements on the slides are fixed, but there is a solution slide for each problem with an editable box where students can write answers or upload an image/screenshot of their work. Students could complete the slideshow in a single setting (20-40 minutes, depending on student abil

This is a series of twelve short tasks (with easy, medium, and hard levels) intended to introduce fifth grade students to the concept of powers of ten, place value, multiplying decimals by 10, and similar concepts. Some problems are closed-ended, while others are open ended. This problem set is intended to be used with students who have access to a calculator, though most of the problems could be solved without one. The emphasis in this problem set is noticing patterns when multiplying and divi

A page of word problems centered on the skill of rounding. Problems include numbers ranging from the tens to the hundred-thousands. Students must decide based on the problem's context which place makes the most sense. One problem involves students evaluating the work of others--deciding if the way that someone has chosen to round makes sense in the context of the problem. Intended for 4th grade (NBT3), but could be used for 3rd grade or for struggling 5th graders.

Two-page activity in which students must find quotients and remainders for problems involving different combinations of family members sharing certain foods/materials. Problems range from 2-by-1 division to 4-by-1 division. Can also be used as a pre- or post-assessment on the skill of division. This activity is aimed at 4th grade (specifically 4NBT6), but could be used for 3rd or 5th graders.

A page of word problems centered on the skill of rounding. Problems primarily involve rounding to the hundreds or tens place. Students must decide based on the problem's context which place makes the most sense. Two problems involve students evaluating the work of others--deciding if the way that someone has chosen to round makes sense in the context of the problem. Intended for 4th grade (NBT3), but could be used for 3rd grade or for struggling 5th graders.
