Do your 3rd graders need practice with word problems? These 3rd grade mixed operations and multi-step word problems are extremely effective in helping students dig deep into understanding how to solve word problems!

Each problem includes a graphic organizer to guide student thinking. So helpful in problem solving! The PRINT format and the newly added DIGITAL version are NO PREP and perfect for distance learning! Whether you have online or face to face learners, you’ll have what you need!

The problems are in a journal format with a graphic organizer that requires students to use equations, visual representations, and words.

A second format of cut and glue strips is also included. Students can glue these into their math spirals and solve – saves you printing and paper!

Kids often find it hard to understand word problems. They frequently don’t know what computation or thinking is required to solve them. Providing them with a graphic organizer helps them make sense of word problems instead of relying on tricks and keywords.

Giving your students this organizer as a tool will make problem solving fun and engaging while at the same time building skills in a rigorous way!
