Free Other (Math) Task Cards

"The Answers Are..." is a great Non-Curricular Thinking Task your math students can all access, no matter their skill level. Each task card gives a number bank and 5 target answers your students must create. Using each number in the bank only one time each, students work in teams of three to create all 5 expressions by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It's more challenging than you might think!

If you are implementing Building Thinking Classrooms this year, "The Answers Are..." is a great thinking task to do with your students at your Vertical Whiteboard stations during the first week of school. Once they solve one of the puzzles, they will keep coming back for more.

This FREE lesson includes the following:

• 10 Different Task Cards using only Whole Numbers
• Solutions for each Task Card
• Complete lesson instructions and pacing
• A Free Canva Template to create your own Task Cards

I created this FREE lesson so any math teacher using BTC can have access to a quick lesson plan for one of the first few days of school. Get your students out of their seats, standing at their whiteboards, and thinking deeply about math.

This is "Time for Frog School" flipbook. The cards can be used on on metal ring or just used as cards. The analog clock time is matched to the digital time. This flipbook is for time to 5 minutes and there is a total of 12 cards in the flipbook.

UPDATED 24 June 2014 - I changed to the clocks to make them more visible and not so hard to read. So, if you previously downloaded this, you might want to make sure to get this version!!

UPDATED 19 October 2014 & 20 March 2017 - I updated the cover and the credits page. No other changes to the actual product.
