About these winter challenge problem solving task cards

This collection contains 24 different word problems with a winter theme.

We suggest printing on card stock and laminating this set for durability. After laminating, cut apart the word problem cards.

Many of the problems require multiple steps and are designed to be a challenge for students. You might find that some of the problems are good for group problem solving tasks.

Along with the task cards, you will find recording pages.

One page is not numbered the other two pages are number 1 through 24 and can be printed front to back.

An answer key is at the end of the download.

How to use these winter challenge problem solving task cards

You can choose to have students complete as a center task by placing the cards in a basket and providing students with a recording page.

If you choose to play as a Scoot game, use the recording forms number 1 – 24 for this. 

 Scoot activities are an easy way to incorporate movement, yet still provide practice and engagement for students.  

All you need to do for this activity is to print and laminate the cards and copy a recording page for each student.

To play Scoot, place one card at each student’s seat.  

They will begin writing on their recording page at the number of the card at their seat. After giving students a few minutes to solve the problem, the teacher yells “Scoot” to signal students to rotate to a new seat.  

The activity continues until students have traveled to each spot.
