Problem Solving

Give your students a math problem. You can write them on note cards or just say them out loud. Then, have the students decide what they will do first and hop to that place on the floor mat. Examples: 4 x 9 + 8 (74 – 12) ÷ 2 x 3 2^4 + 5^5 8 x 4 + 6 – 2 (7 × 7 − 2) ÷ (5 − 2) 3^2 × (10 − 3) 2 x 8 − 12 ÷ 2

The student will throw a bean bag on the mat. Then, the student will give a number sentence that coincides with the operation on which the bean bag landed.

Wild Worksheets

Students will look at a number sentence on a worksheet. The student will jump on the first block (parenthesis) and look to see if there are any in their problem. Then, jump to the next block (exponent) and see if there are any in their problem. Have them continue down the mat until the problem is solved.
