Winter Add and Subtract bar model problem solving Task Cards for 2nd Grade Math Do you find that your students can calculate simple addition and subtraction answers but struggle when it comes to problem solving? These high quality addition and subtraction task cards provide a great opportunity for students to apply their knowledge solving problems with a bar model representation. There are 20 no prep cards within the set, consisting of a mixture of two digit and three digit numbers, all set within a cute Winter theme. The problems have been designed with the second grade curriculum in mind (or Year 3 UK) and contain word problems with a bar model representation. Bar models are often included in assessment materials and can prove to be a difficult concept for some learners. Children need to read and solve the problem on each of the cards, using key language to determine whether an addition or a subtraction calculation is needed. They can work out answers on a whiteboard and then record on the provided recording sheet, or ask them to show their working out in their notebooks. There’s also an answer sheet provided to encourage self or peer assessment, or it can be used as a quick reference guide to speed up teacher marking. The task cards would be ideal for 2nd Grade math centers, small group work or even interventions/challenges for 2nd or 3rd grade children. They would also be suited for homeschooling, ensuring that learners access problems at the expected level or grade. Creating word problems can be a chore when planning resources. Take the stress out of such preparation, knowing these questions meet curriculum standards, providing fluency and challenge for your students, saving you a lot of time! The pdf download includes: A5 direction card A4 recording sheet (black and white) A4 answer sheet - coloured Winter theme 20 problem task cards with a Winter theme background (4 per A4 page) Once they’re printed, laminate them for extra durability and use as often as you like to secure problem solving skills with addition and subtraction.

Are you looking for fun resources with repeated addition and multiplication equations for your second grade learners? These quality arrays task cards focus on the 2x, 5x, 10x, 3x and 4x multiplication tables and representations as arrays. They are ideal for both the US and UK Math Curriculum to cover expected standards. Children can often struggle with the concept and need plenty of practice. There are 20 no prep activity cards prompting students to look at each array and identify the matching repeated addition equation and multiplication equation that describes the array. Learners can then clip the answers on each card with pegs or paper clips for interventions, small group work and math centers, or they can record both equations in their notebook so they can see how repeated addition and multiplications can represent the same value. The best thing is, once completed, students can use the included answer cards to peer or self assess answers, identifying misconceptions or receiving instant praise, knowing they’ve secured their knowledge and understanding. There are 4 cards per A4 page (pdf download). For extra durability I’d suggest printing into card stock then laminating so they can be used as often as needed. They would be great for classroom and homeschool math lessons as centers, support and interventions. Whilst these have been designed with second grade learners in mind, there’s scope to include them in 3rd and 4th grade too depending on prior learning and need for understanding. This would equate to Y3 and Y4 UK curriculum. Save yourself valuable time and use these no prep cards as part of your math lessons.

Help your youngsters secure their knowledge and understanding of the 3 times tables through exploration, using these fun, high quality, math task cards. There are 2 separate sets of pdf task cards available to download, one focusing on the use of everyday concrete objects and the other on pictorial representations. Both sets of cards encourage the use of repeated addition and multiplication equations to develop understanding and show findings in mathematical written form. Set A cards are designed for learners who need/ enjoy showing math concepts in a practical way, for example showing 4 groups of 3 with socks and pegs or multilink towers. Children need to show the representation through making, placing or building, then write on the laminated cards a repeated addition and a multiplication equation for it. There are 12 cards in this set from 1x3 up to 12x3. They offers versatility as students can show practically and photograph as evidence or for use on a math working wall or bulletin board. They can use a dry wipe pen to write the equations on each card or they could copy and complete the equations in their workbook once the practical task has been completed. Set B cards focus on pictorial representations, where students use the visual prompt to then write a repeated addition and multiplication equation in their workbook. Once learners are confident with this stage, they should then find abstract representations, reasoning and problem solving easier so they can apply their knowledge and understanding with a greater degree of confidence. These task cards vary in size. Set A cards are approximately A5 in size, whereas Set B cards are approximately A6 in size. Set B requires no further prep once they’re printed and laminated. Simply use as often as needed on math centers, interventions, small group work or early finishing tasks. Set A will require a little prep but the concrete materials needed are popular everyday objects, with picture clues as to what is needed in order to complete each task. Both sets of task cards include an answer card to encourage peer and self assessment opportunities, as well as teacher assessment. You will receive a link to download your materials due to the file size.
