Weekly Word Problems are my absolute FAVORITE way to teach word problems! These word problems have become an essential component to my classroom instruction! *************************************************************************** Weekly Word problems allow students to practice their word problem skills each day. The May version contains a mixture of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division word problems, and all operations include larger numbers that require students to apply their computation skills. In this activity, students solve 3 word problems a day, and on Fridays they write their own word problem for a specific operation. There are 4 weeks worth of word problems in this product. All of the word problems have spring or summer related theme. An answer key is included.
*************************************************************************** What’s Included Since I want my students to be able to solve the word problems independently, the August word problems are primarily a review of third grade math. In September, students begin to add and subtract larger 4-digit numbers, while the multiplication and division problems are centered around basic math facts. I add larger multiplication problems in the October version, and by November students are multiplying 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers and 2-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers. I’ve also added 3-digit division problems, as well as a few multi-step word problems!
Laminate these pages and use with counters. Kids can place counters in the box to practice one-to-one correspondence and counting to 10. They also will practice identifying numbers 1 – 10.

In this inquiry based, discovery activity students graph two lines and then answer questions about solutions to equations and points on the lines of the equations. The goal of this activity is for students to observe that the solution to a system will occur where the graphs of the lines intersect and that systems can be solved by graphing. Students construct their own meaning and understanding, and will be making observations and answering critical thinking questions that will help them to make sense of the solutions to a system of equations.
This is a fairly simple game for students to practice their place value skills to the hundreds. Two students play against each other. Each student picks 3 number cards from a pile and tries to make the biggest number they can. The player with the biggest number gets a star. The winner is the player with the most stars. I’ve also included a recording sheet for students to practice writing standard form, word form, and expanded form.
Do your students need extra practice with their addition facts? Then this set will do the job. There are 2 focus numbers on each page with corresponding math facts to cut and sort. I have included 2 pages for each set of numbers for additional practice.
I hope you enjoy this freebie. I would really appreciate your feedback:)
This is the first of many cut and paste activity sets!
Winter Math Activity: Do your students struggle to compare fractions? Do they need a fun, motivating, hands-on way to look at fractions? This freebie has students comparing fractions by coloring in the snowman fractions and then deciding which one is greater.
There are two different versions of this freebie. The color version starts on page 4 and goes through page 5. The black and white version starts on page 3 and goes through page 4. To complete, students will need to color in each fraction shown above each snowman. This will mean students need a basic understanding of what a fraction is before completing this activity.
Some possible ways to use this product:
• Use the color version as a center/laminate to use again and again.
• Use the black and white version as independent work/practice before a lesson.
• Use the black and white version as an assessment to see how students are doing during your fractions unit.
• Use either version at your teacher table as a small group lesson.
There is a set of 2 pages (black and white or color) that are purposely identical to reflect different ways of asking the question/allow you as a teacher to differentiate to meet the needs of your students. The first is the basic question of comparing which is greater, the second requires students to use the symbolic symbols of greater than (>), less than (<), or equal to (=).
If You Need More Fraction Skills, check out my paid version
which includes:
• Pages 5-6/13-14: comparing fractions with the same denominator (more/less pieces)
• Pages 7-8/15-16: comparing fractions with the same numerator (size of the pieces)
• Pages 9-10/17-18: comparing fractions with the same numerator (size of the pieces, numerator greater than one)
• Page 11/19: comparing fractions that are equivalent (=) and close to equivalent

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and sneak in some learning by using this St. Patty’s Day multiplication freebie. Students will color the squares to reveal a hidden message and hidden picture. This download includes two different multiplication sheets and answer keys!
Purpose: to review multiplication and division facts
Players move around the coins to the pot of gold finish. One player will have to be Mouse to check answers.
36 lucky shamrock cards with 2 facts on each card.
This game is both fun and engaging! Great for math centers and early finishers.
I also provided a task card recording sheet if you would like your students to review without using the game.
The title of the game is Mouse’s St. Patrick’s Day Game. I chose this name in case you would like to change things up a bit. You could have your students use addition and subtraction flash cards. They could also make their own cards using more difficult problems , spelling words, or vocabulary words. Students can draw a shamrock on each card they make for the game to represent the lucky shamrock. The same directions can be used with a few minor changes. The game can be used for any type of review.
