Play Dough Word Problems Task Cards

Kids all love play dough,  and here is a  fun  activity that combines  fine motor skills, creativity, and  Math . Another benefit of this game  is  that it helps  kids to use their sense of imagination trough pretend play . Because the children will not only visualize, but be the actor of the math problem, they will understand and learn  with ease.

 The first set focuses on  additions and subtractions 

The children can pick any cards or follow the progressive order from card 1 to 16 especially if they are beginners as the first few cards are easier.

each of the play dough task card sets come with 2 pages of recording sheets that you are free to use or not.

The second  set helps kids discover how multiplication works

Most importantly they will see how we can  use multiplication it in everyday life.

 Set 3 is introducing the children to the concept of division .

Progressively  they will understand how to share equally, first with very simple little problems  without remainder and then with remainder.

 Set Four makes Fractions seam easy

so easy in fact that even a first grader will have fun discovering how they work.   Progressively the  task cards  become a bit more difficult and are a good practice for even fourth graders that usually would struggle with worksheets . the first cards are very simple and clear and takes the kids step by step to understand what fractions mean. Progressively it becomes a bit harder. The cards 13 and 14 that are the most difficult  might require the help of the teacher. 

for this set I made available not only some recording sheets but also the answer key so the students can check themselves.
