Determine the Operation Task Cards | 3rd and 4th Grade Problem Solving Math

30 differentiated word problem task cards to encourage students to select the appropriate operation for each word problem. I created these after noticing my students struggling with which operation to choose, especially when given multiple problems from a similar scenario.

This Resource Includes the Following:

• 30 Differentiated Half-Page Task Cards
• Answer Key & Recording Sheet
• DIGITAL ACCESS via Google Slides

Perfect for 3rd and Beginning of 4th graders. 

Each of the 30 cards includes THREE word problems with a similar theme. Each word problem requires a different operation to solve. Each question on the card covers a similar topic or theme so that students can see that similar scenarios often require different operations.

• 10 Cards require Addition, Subtraction, and Basic Multiplication
• 10 Cards require ALL OPERATIONS (Basic Multiplication & Division)
• 10 Cards require Multi-Step with ALL OPERATIONS plus EXTRA INFORMATION

These are perfect for word problem practice, finding extra information in math problems, determining the operation, and more!
