they need to solve each problem.

mentally once the student has determined which information is relevant.

Teacher Tip
Hereโs what teachers are saying:
โ๏ธ “Your task card materials are all wonderful and these multistep-story problems live up to their expectations! My students have to go back and reread the relevant parts in order to solve the questions. When they work in pairs, I notice them quoting the story lines that support their thinking and help them come up with an answer!” -Lenore S.
โ๏ธ “I have been using this with my RTI group practicing our word problems strategies, they use the recording sheet and highlight each letter with the information in the story problem to help them solve it. It has helped them understand that not all information or numbers are relevant in a problem.” -Ashley M.
โ๏ธ “These problems truly helped my children become more proficient in word problems. They are difficult but not too difficult for them to solve on their own. Great word problems to teach children to write down their steps! Thank you!” -Tanya L.

This was such an engaging and useful resource in my classroom! Iโรรดm all about convenience and this resource was so useful in my classroom.
Melissa Bancroft –
This resource really challenged my tutoring students to take more time to think about what was being asked of them and to look at the word problem in different ways. Thank you for creating such a great resource :o)

My 3rd graders loved this! I used it as a scoot and I love that the students had to look at the problem differently to answer the 4 questions on each card.

Good product. Will buy from this author again. My students enjoyed the material. The learning that I was using it for was reinforced.
Deborah M. –
LOVE this activity! I put the task cards around the room and students have to hunt for them, like Easter eggs, and solve them. They are very competitive and they have fun doing this. It nearly makes them forget they are doing math. ๐
Miss C. –
My students loved this resource! They were engaged and had no trouble getting started. It didnโรรดt take much time to prepare and it was easy to understand and use. Even my higher leveled students felt challenged and engaged! Thanks for all your hard work in producing such a wonderful resource.

I have printed and laminated these to use in math rotations. They are a great activity for independent rotation learning.

This resource I used with my math MTSS group. The students found it very engaging and good practice for word problems which is always a struggle.
