Instructional Ideas

  • Supplement these worksheets into your math curriculum as in-class or homework assignments

Pros

  • Each worksheet addresses a specific skill which is clearly written across the top of the page
  • Worksheets contain between six and eight story problems that get progressively more difficult

Cons

  • An answer key is not included for these worksheets
