Description

Tired of hearing, "Done! Now, what?" You will never hear that again with these math brain teasers that challenge and engage early finishers and gifted students in 3rd, 4th, 5th, even 6th grade. Perfect after state testing activities!

These math task cards for early finishers encourage mathematical reasoning and using computation skills in unique and flexible ways that deepen understanding!

⭐ During math test-preparation, while you're reviewing and practicing with the rest of your class, your early finishers will continue to learn and be challenged with these brain teasers as they think and analyze number relationships and computation inside and out! Or use them as after state testing activities!

Students apply what they already know about computation as they guess and test to find correct answers and make mathematical generalizations.

These problem solving brain teasers are perfect for students to complete independently, with a partner, or even as homework.

No additional materials or preparation needed.

Just print-and-use!

While I wrote these tasks for fourth and fifth graders, many third graders will also enjoy them and look forward to the challenges.

Your students will look at numbers and number concepts from a different perspective, gain a deeper understanding of numbers, and strengthen their number skills at the same time.

They will enjoy the change of pace and will grow in their understanding of math while having fun.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = __ ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?.
Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.
Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
