I like the way you have built the pages. It offers the student an opportunity to represent the word problem in different ways. This helps students to see that they can solve word problems in a variety of ways. (Originally shared on my TpT store.)

This was a good resource for my youngest learners and I am looking for tools that will help them unlock word problems and explain their thinking. (Originally shared on my TpT store.)
