For years, I have wished and hoped for a resource that would provide my students with high quality, open ended tasks to allow them to apply what they learn to real world situations. Guess what? They are hard to find! So I thought and I thought…and finally, the idea for a flexible, high-level series of problems came to me. They can be used whole class…with enrichment groups…for fast finishers…or even in different ways with different students.
This version is PERFECT for use around the holidays (no holiday is explicitly mentioned) as it asks students to use the information presented to use basic fraction skills and problem solving to plan how a family can bake as many cookies as possible to donate to a worthy cause. There are lots of factors to consider--this is not a fill-in-the-blank resource!
Use as a printed resource or send slides digitally--your choice!
Each resource is based on a different real world theme--like baking cookies--and students need to use the "Math by the Numbers" posters (available in full color to laminate for centers and in black and white for easy copying) to work on a multiple step, open ended project. NOTE: Because this is truly an open-ended project, there is no answer key with the main task as there are countless solutions!
What's Included?
- Color, black and white, and digital versions of the "Math by the Numbers" pages
- Differentiation options to help you find just the right "fit" for your class
- The real world "situation" page--where students read, make sense of the problem, and then come up with their plan to solve
- 6 additional practice pages--at two different levels. Perfect for even more problem solving! (all answers are included)
- Teaching tips
- Math talk prompts to keep your accountable talk moving
- Additional enrichment ideas for students who need even more!
The activity is tiered so that the same activity is available at different levels.
I don't think you will be disappointed--and more products in the series are on their way! This version focuses on basic fraction concepts, computation, and multi-step problem solving. It is ideal for grades 3 and 4 and could be used in other grade levels at your discretion. I hope you enjoy it--and the flexibility it offers you.
