This is a set of 10 math problems. Each one is one page (room for some working). About half are open ended, great for GT learners. They will take some thinking and planning. I did not number them so you could use them in any order you want. I would make a book out of them and only give them to students who needed more of a challenge.

Each student has a business with five items to sell. They price their items using the pricing guide and some place value math skills! It is very interactive and r

My students needed practice with adding fraction using models. I made these sixteen task cards so they have a lot of practice! There are four pages, 16 cards, that are all similar. Use them in centers, with partners, posted around the classroom, or as a group discussion. Simple task cards. Repetitive. Just what my students need! This type of problem has shown up on the STAAR test several times.
