Lots and Lots of Problems...

We worked so hard on our problem solving skills this year. Please help your children practice these skills over the summer! Encourage them to try different strategies and explain their thinking!

Be sure to vary the types of problems you give your children. For example, one day you might give them a simple subtraction ("separating") problem. The next day, you might give them an addition ("joining") problem where the starting quantity is unknown. For explanations of the different kinds of problems and examples, please visit the link below:




For an extra challenge, have your children write their own problems, and then see if YOU can solve them!
