This product is intended to be used in a classroom modeled after Peter Liljedahl’s book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics.

Task cards: They can be laminated or paper copy to write on, table scoot, homework, game board cards, or team problem solving. They can also be used in a building thinking classroom. There are three types of questions which are marked in the bottom right corner with a snap cube. One snap cube is a type one (mild) question – 4 by 1 division without remainders, two snap cubes is a type two (medium) question – 4 by 1 division with remainders, and three snap cubes is a type three (spicy) question – word problems without remainders. There are so many options to use them with. There is a free game board located in my store, Sprout & Thrive.

Launch Script: This is the mini lesson. It should be quick, 10 minutes.

Consolidation: Wrap up the lesson after tasks. This is like a second mini lesson. Have students gather around and possibly walk the room to show varying strategies used by classmates.

Notes: This page is intended to be printed for students to write on and glue into journals or hole punched for a notebook.

Check Your Understanding: Students complete so the teacher can check to see what the student does or does not understand. It is meant tgo in a certain order so that you, the teacher, know where a student begins to struggle – A, B, C, D, etc. – down each column of Mild, Medium, Spicy.
