• Multiplication and division fact fluency
• Single step story problems
• Multi-step contextual problems including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
• Interpreting factors, products, dividends, divisors and quotients
• Solving contextual problems within 100
• Fluently adding and subtracting within 1,000
• Multiplying one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10

There are 2 versions of the project, designed to be differentiated for your class and to help scaffold students towards independent problem solving. Each version is 23 pages and includes 5 different parts of planning the party (each part includes 8-11 questions)!

• Problem Solving Support: The first version includes story problem solving graphic organizers for each problem to help scaffold your students towards solving the single and multi-step story problems. This version is great for your students that need to practice fluency and need support making story problems more accessible.
• Independent Problem Solving: The second version does not include the graphic organizers so students need to interpret the problems themselves. This provides a more challenging opportunity for students to determine the steps to solve each problem. This is great for your students who are fluent in their facts but need to work on interpreting story problems independently.

Make sure to open in a PDF viewer or Adobe for correct print margins.

*This project includes a ZIP file with a PDF version of the project, and Power Point versions of each version of the project which can be uploaded to Google Slides with easy-to-use boxes for students to type their answers!
