In addition, this resource explains clearly the connection to the Common Core and provides rubrics and answer keys to help with instruction. In it, each of the problems come with multiple problems on a page, ready to be copied, cut, and glued into students’ math journals.

The Mathematical Practice Standards of perseverance, attends to precision, and constructs viable arguments are addressed along with the math content standard of “Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic”. This problem set is ready to be copied for use in your class!

In this resource, I have included samples of some of the different types of activities/prompts I use in my math journals. I have tried to explain each one and then provide examples that you can replicate with your class. Consider writing other prompts based on these that take YOUR students’ names and interests into account—students are very motivated to solve problems that are real to them. This resource introduces four types of journal prompts:

*Word problems (10 different problems included)

*Mystery numbers (6 different problems included)

*True/False statements (16 different problems included)

*Tell me what you know about…

Problems are all based on high interest, “amazing” animal facts. Note that students are encouraged to write coordinating “number sentences” to demonstrate complete understanding of the operations used. It is recommended that you teach multiple ways to show a variable…an empty box, a question mark, and letters as typically seen in algebra. They can do it!

The Common Core clearly states that students should be able to solve a variety of real-world math problems where the “variable” moves to different locations in the number sentence. Refer to pages 88 and 89 (Tables 1 and 2) for further clarification. All four operations are used with numbers of varying sizes and even different units of measure.

Also important to the CCSS is the concept that students can interpret remainders. A variety of problems requiring students to do that are included in this resource as is a one page teacher “guide” about remainders.

Pages can be printed, cut into quadrants, and laminated to use as task cards (color version) or can be copied and cut apart to use in math journals or as worksheets (4 different problems per page). Pages are included in color AND with white background for easy copying. There is also a reproducible work mat for answers, an answer key, and blank cards for teachers or students to write their own problems.

The Common Core clearly states that students must:

CCSS.Math.Content.4.NBT.B.6 Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models. (Grade 4)

CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT.B.6 Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models. (Grade 5)

The included problems align with this standard.

The post Division with Remainders – Division Word Problems Task Cards appeared first on The Teacher Studio.

This bundled set includes 20 word problems focused on larger number multiplication word problems (1 digit by 2, 3, and 4 digit and 2 digit by 2 digit) which support the Common Core State Standards. Pages can be printed, cut into quadrants, and laminated to use as task cards (color version) or can be copied and cut apart to use in math journals or as worksheets (4 different problems per page).

This set also includes 24 word problems focused on larger number division word problems (2,3,and 4 digit by 1 and 2 digits) which support the Common Core State Standards for grades 4 and 5.

NOTE: This is a BUNDLED SET of two other resources offered together at a cost saving. If you have already purchased one of these resources, please do NOT buy this set as it will be a duplicate!

The post Multiplication and Division Word Problem Bundle appeared first on The Teacher Studio.

Each problem can be used…

• with five copies of each word problem on a page to be cut out and glued into a math journal or math notebook

• with four different problems on reproducible pages to use as practice sheets, math homework, math assessment, or cooperative problem solving

• on full sheet pages that give work space for one problem, a place for students to write matching equations, and a lined area for students to write a math explanation—an important part of the CCSS and the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

• and full digital access!

Answers are included as are three rubrics to use to help in scoring the Standards for Mathematical Practice!

The 20 problems included require students to use all four operations to solve word problems with multiple steps. These problems are geared for students in grades 3 and 4 and stress problem-solving and critical thinking.

Why did I write these?

Over the years I have noticed that students tend to look for routine in math class. If it’s a division unit, they will divide any two numbers they find! If it’s a subtraction unit, they try to regroup everything!

For that reason, I try hard to sprinkle in a variety of problems all year that require students to think and apply what they have learned—perhaps draw a picture or make a table to help . . . but, most importantly, to THINK about math. I hope you find these useful!

I hope you find uses for all three versions of the problems…perhaps using a page or two from each as you see fit. You can use this to teach a mini unit on multi-step problems or simply use them throughout the year to improve problem solving!
