Multiplication and Division Word Problems Task Card REVIEW GAME - {Common Core}
$2.97
Description
This set of Problem Solving Posters will help you teach students how to Solve Word Problems and to use Strip Diagrams. Word problems have become more complex with unknowns in any place in a problem. Now more than ever, we need to get rid of "key words" and teach students to truly think. This set of posters will help you support understanding of the parts of each type of word problem.
Each poster is 8.5 x 11 inches. Here are the included posters:
⭐Header: Thinking Support
⭐Join
⭐Separate
⭐Part-Part-Whole
⭐Compare
⭐Equal Groups
⭐Multiplicative Comparison
A Teacher Key is included with ideas of words that should be placed in each box on each poster.
Consider this problem: Grace has 20 pencils in all. 14 pencils are pink and the rest are green. How many green pencils does Grace have? Unfortunately, words like "in all" have been taught as key words for addition. Many students see those words and simply add the 2 numbers from the problem. What we need to do is teach students that "in all" indicates the total. 20 is the total in this problem and the unknown is one of the parts. We can subtract 20-14 to find the missing part (green pencils).
This resource will help students understand the true meaning of phrases like "in all" that have been traditionally taught as "key words." These posters give students places to record how those words connect to problem parts (start, change, result, whole, part, etc.).
Both the TEKS and Common Core standards specify that students need to solve for unknowns in any position in word problems. Teaching key words will often lead students to an incorrect answer in these types of problems and reduces students to surface level readers. Instead, let's teach students to truly think!

October 7, 2026"This resource is an absolute game-changer for teaching Unit 3 in 4th grade! If you are feeling overwhelmed by the dense teacher manuals or spending hours trying to format your own presentations, do yourself a favor and buy this right now. The slides are completely no-prep, beautifully designed, and student-friendly. Every single lesson includes clearly stated learning targets right at the beginning, which keeps my students focused and aligns perfectly with our instructional goals. I especially love the embedded anchor charts and direct hyperlinks—they save me so much transition time during lessons because I don’t have to hunt for materials across different tabs or manuals. The included student worksheets and guided practice prompts provide wonderful scaffolding that keeps student engagement high and supports all learners, including my emerging bilinguals and students who need extra support. It breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, manageable pieces without watering down the curriculum. Thank you for creating such a polished, time-saving, and effective teaching tool! It has easily cut my planning time in half and made our daily lessons run seamlessly."

In addition to my work in education, I also run a STEM-based Christmas Light Show business. When I'm not creating new math resources or working with teachers, I'm designing and fabricating light shows sequenced to music with my husband and our team. That business came about after our family was featured on ABC's The Great Christmas Light Fight. My son attends the University of Texas, Austin and I'm currently soaking up every last minute with my daughter, a high school senior.
