Here's what others have to say about Daily Problem Solving...

♥ AMAZING RESOURCE! My kiddos do daily math each week but wanted to incorporate more word problems.  I staple this each week to their original daily math page.  The problems are diverse and challenging.  I love how many skills are covered and how they are multi-step.  Perfect!! - Samantha M. 

♥ I absolutely LOVE this product! I cannot say enough good things about it. It is rigorous and covers so many of our critical standards. I start each math lesson with this as a warm-up. As the students come in for math they get started on it and then we go over it together. I like that it has a reflection at the end so my kids think about what skills they have mastered and which ones they still need to work on. I like the monthly theme with the little fact. So fun! -Rebecca R.
