Problem Solving
Thank you for downloading this math center!
In this center children use colored monsters to assist with solving
word problems. This center can be used again and again as it
includes 16 different word problems using 5, 6, 7 or 8 monsters.

Print and laminate the problem cards and monster cards.

Should you wish your students to record their work you will need
to print a recording sheet for each child.

This center is a perfect add-on to my ‘Monster Math Activity

Pack’ which you can purchase it from my Tpt store.

I hope your children have a

monster-ous
learning experience! c michelle walker
