• Explain, explain, explain! You can’t just go thinking your students know what to do. It can be a little tricky! You have to explain and model how this activity will work!

The Plan:

• Students can start at any card; it doesn't matter which one.
• They should solve the question on their starting card and write the answer on their answer sheet.
• Next, they should search the room to find a card with their answer in the top left corner.
• If they find a matching card, they know their answer is correct.
• They then solve the question on the new card and repeat the process.
• Continue this until all the cards have been found and solved.

This interactive and dynamic math activity is ideal for the first week of 6th grade or last week of 5th grade, keeping students engaged and reinforcing critical math skills. Be sure to follow my store to be notified of new products and sales!

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but that also force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when completing these challenges.

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but also that force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when building these challenges.

Most building challenge task cards are independent from each other. “Build a boat,” or “build an airplane,” are common themes among the cards. While those are fantastic, and we have done many of them ourselves, I wanted to do something different and more cohesive and engaging for kids.

The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**
