Students ready for summer? This is a fun way to help solidify their math fact fluency. If you've got a competitive bunch, you could even time the activity to see who gets the money to the boy the fastest.

Word problems are tricky! This worksheet instructs students to circle the clue words that indicate which operation should be used to solve the problem. If you're looking for an anchor chart with clue words for each operation, check out my store. My students use them daily.
