Third Grade on the Move

My students really struggled with two-step word problems. I came up with this 15-page resource to guide them through the steps of breaking down the problem into manageable pieces. The students begin by filling out, "What the answer looks like" using their words. For example, they would write, "Ducks in the pond + new ducks - scared ducks = total ducks left in the pond." Then, they move on to simply plug in the numbers and solve the problem! This has done wonders to help my students break-down

Learning multiplication facts is so important -- but that doesn't mean it can't be fun! Each maze has the multiples of 3, 4, 5, or 6. Students follow the multiples to get through the maze. The multiples are not in numerical order to help the students gain automaticity with the multiples, rather than merely skip-counting. These are perfect for centers, for early finishers, homework, and a sub-binder. Included 2 mazes for each of the 3s, 4s, 5s, and 6s, tables. If you like this, check out

Go on a quest to master two-step word problems! This cooperative game encourages students to work together, rather than compete. The game includes 30 two-step word problems in 3 formats: Powerpoint, PDF, and easy-print task cards. The students play with a partner: if they both get the problem correct they move two spaces, if one partner get the problem correct they move one space, if neither gets the problem correct they do not move at all. Answer key is included! Let your students learn from
