Here’s what teachers are saying:

✏️ "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.

✏️ "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.

✏️ "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.
