THIRD GRADE MATH ENRICHMENT

WORD PROBLEM SOLVING TASK CARDS

Digital & printable formats included in each set. These word problems are designed to help 3rd grade students exercise multi-step math problem solving, reasoning, critical thinking, and precise math modeling skills.

PEDAGOGY:

Multi-step word problems are one of the greatest challenges for many students. We should be providing students with daily opportunities to tackle complex word problems in the classroom so they can truly master this challenging skill.

These math problem solving tasks are carefully crafted so students routinely practice their ability to:

Carefully analyze what math skills are required to find a solution.
Create detailed math models that show their math reasoning.
Record their solution in a complete sentence.
