Instructional Ideas

• Have copies readily available for early finishers to work on when their "must do" activities are complete 
• Copy and cut out each problem, direct learners to randomly choose one and solve as an exit ticket 
• Work on one problem a day as a warm-up activity prior to a math lesson 

Classroom Considerations

• The worksheet is the second of eight resources in a series created for substitute use in a fourth grad class 
• Four problems appear on one worksheet, multiple copies must be made if assigning more

Pros

• A fun font is written on a bright and colorful background
• Provides adequate space for writers to show their work and write directly on the page   

Cons

• None
