Instructional Ideas

• Have learners draw their solutions instead of just showing their work, possibly using arrays
• Ask kids to consider why, in real life, you might need to know how many ears are on 105 puppies. Why might you need to know how many legs are on 349 frogs?

Classroom Considerations

• There isn't a lot of room on this worksheet to show work beneath each word problem, so you may want to have students use the back

Pros

• Creative questions with clear phrasing

Cons

• None
