Students will solve multiplication & division word problems using digital moveable modeling pieces to show their mathematical thinking.

Do your students dread solving math word problems? 

Word problems can be so difficult for students because they struggle to carefully read the problems and identify the correct operation to solve them.

This is a chutes and ladders style game but features a turkey trying to reach his friend at the end. This product includes one board game, directions on how to play the game, and 1-9 multiplication/division fact cards. You can choose whether you have your students practice their basic multiplication facts, division facts, or a combination of both. Review skills in an engaging, fun way this Thanksgiving! Students will race to be the first one to reach turkey at the end while practicing math facts along the way.

Directions on how to play: Students will play in pairs. They must create a spinner using a pencil and paperclip. Spin the spinner to find out how many spaces you move. Before moving your game piece, answer one of the equations. If you get it correct, you can move that many spaces forward. If you answer the equation incorrectly, you lose your turn.

If you land on the turkey footprints, follow them upward to advance on the board.

If you land on the top of the vine, slide down it to the space where it ends.

If you land on a space with the dinner plates, go back 2 spaces. The first player to reach the turkey at the end wins!

Need to fill those few days or hours before Thanksgiving break with something related to Thanksgiving, but still keep it meaningful to the educational process? Try this fun Thanksgiving themed math activity! Task cards are always a hit with my students - and these will be with yours, too!

You get 32 task cards, ranging from simple, single step problems to more complex multi (2 and 3) step problems. Skills cover addition and subtraction of up to 3 digits, multiplication of 1 and 2 digit numbers, basic division, basic fractions, and working with money amounts.

Swap out the typical Thanksgiving routine with these engaging social problem-solving scenarios. They're the perfect way to blend social-emotional learning into your Thanksgiving activities, making it not just a feast but also an opportunity for valuable lessons.

What's Included

• 3 social problem-solving worksheets, each with 5 different Thanksgiving-related social situations
• both color and black and white versions

How it Works

1. Decide if you want students to work independently, with a partner, or in groups. Or have students work alone and then share answers in a class discussion.
2. Students read each situation, deciding whether the child in the scenario made a good or poor choice. This process encourages critical thinking and reflection on social behaviors.
3. For good choices, students explain why the decision was positive. For poor choices, students propose alternative ways to handle the situation, sparking meaningful discussions around social skills and empathy.

Sample Thanksgiving Scenarios

• Emily's Thankful Reflections: Emily shares genuine reflections on what she's thankful for during a classroom Thanksgiving activity.

• Seth's Avoidance Strategy: Seth doesn’t want to be asked to help clean the house before company comes over, so he leaves to ride his bike and is gone until dinner time.
