Instructional Ideas

• Allow learners to choose which four word problems they wish to solve 
• Solve one problem prior to a math lesson to warm-up math skills
• Give pupils the option to work individually or in a small group to gain extra support from their peers 

Classroom Considerations

• A worksheet holds four spaces to work; however, there are 12 problems given, provide extra copies of the worksheet or assign four problems  
• The cards are the second resource in a series of eight created as part of a third grade substitute lesson plan   

Pros

• Provides clear and easy to read directions 
• Problems are written in an engaging font on a colorful background

Cons

• None
