Coffee, Snow Days, and Word Problems- Oh my!

Well, we have reached *snow day* number 10, yes that's not a typo TEN. And I went to bed at normal school time because I didn't really think we would have a snow day... soooooo

I have been up drinking coffee from my fancy Keruig since about 8:30 now. :) I love coffee. Lots of it. Anyway......

But that means I have FINISHED the word problem pack! Woo-Hoo! I got it finished last night and then had a huge fight with my computer. Like I wanted to chuck my computer across the room all over trying to get some thumbnails for the product to upload. GRR. So frustrating. This computer is so old. After my vacation to London on Spring Break (!), that's the next thing I'm buying- new computer!

But here it is!





I just started using this pack specifically in my room but I have always done a word-problem-of-the-day type thing. Not to toot my own horn, but this is great!

I project the problem of the day up on the SmartBoard, give the students the half sheet to work on and glue in their math notebooks, and then we go over it. I have the kids come up and write directly on the SmartBoard to solve the problem!




Here's what the notebook pages look like. They glue them in their notebook and then solve the problem right on the page. The problem projected on the SmartBoard looks like this:




They are all multiplication and division word problems- some missing factor, some missing product, some missing dividend, some missing divisor, and some missing quotient- it's a good mix of them all and there are 20, yes, TWENTY, problems in this pack! :)
