When did math become so relevant? Scholars choose from four operations to solve five word problems dealing with money and measurements. They show their work in a designated space, and must include units in their answers. Learners work with decimals in some of these, and there is one completed example which you may want to go over together before they begin. Encourage kids to look for key words that give them clues as to which operation to use.
