Halloween: Multi-Step Word Problem Task Cards for Third and Fourth Grade

Item description

Provided in this set is 20 Halloween Themed task cards that deal with multi-step word problems. Each math story problem is different allowing the students to use all four operations as they solve each problem. It is fun and engaging way to have students solve these problems. Some of these problems do involve money. All answers are whole positive numbers.

All 20 short response cards are based around the holiday of: Halloween

Use these 20 short response cards to help your students understand and grasp the concept to answer multi-step and multi-operational word problems (CCSS 3.OA.D.8). These task cards are ideal for test prep and will work well at math centers, stations, for partner work. I personally love using this with my whole class as a SCOOT type activity.

A student answer sheet is included along with an answer key for self-checking or teacher use. However, with the multiple steps that the student will need to take, I recommend allowing a notebook or scrap paper to record their work. Later you may want to attach this to their answer sheet.
