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

Task cards: Slides 3-8 (recording sheet and key, slides 9-10) 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 – estimating whole numbers, two snap cubes is a type two (medium) question – estimating decimals with some whole numbers, and three snap cubes is a type three (spicy) question – estimating word problems with mixed whole numbers and decimals. There are so many options to use them with. There is a free game board located in my store, Sprout & Thrive.
