Ratio and proportion task cards have been the most invaluable resource used in my classroom. I use this product in a pinch and to save on my color ink (color version is here: Ratio-Proportion Task Cards) I credit this to 2 reasons: 1. The cards are a load of fun for the kids. 2. When students have full comprehension of the basics behind setting up ratio and proportion problems, then they can solve any algebraic problem that comes their way. Using ratio and proportion as useful tools for solving mathematical word problems will make your job as a math teacher much easier. What better way to review, practice or emphasize the necessary skills than with a fun task card activity. These colorful task cards with easy 2-sided printing (question on front-answer on back) have matching pictures on question and answer card. If you do not want 2-sided printing, you will easily find the matching answer. Please print on heavy paper or card stock and laminate.

The worksheets include 25 fun word problems with cute graphics for your 2nd graders. Students can determine the value of the digit in the whole number, (first by determining its place value). For example, if one number (for example, 100) has more digits than another number (95), it automatically has the higher value. However, if two numbers have the same number of digits, such as 200 and 195, you must compare those digits from left to right. Most of the word problems are CCSS-aligned to: CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1 CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1.a CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.1.b CCSS.Math.Content.2.NBT.A.3 There are also word problems with place value up to thousands, ten-thousands, and hundred-thousands place.
