The Answers Are... Whole Numbers Part 1: FREE BTC Non-Curricular Thinking Task

"The Answers Are..." is a great Non-Curricular Thinking Task your math students can all access, no matter their skill level. Each task card gives a number bank and 5 target answers your students must create. Using each number in the bank only one time each, students work in teams of three to create all 5 expressions by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It's more challenging than you might think!

If you are implementing Building Thinking Classrooms this year, "The Answers Are..." is a great thinking task to do with your students at your Vertical Whiteboard stations during the first week of school. Once they solve one of the puzzles, they will keep coming back for more.

This FREE lesson includes the following:

• 10 Different Task Cards using only Whole Numbers
• Solutions for each Task Card
• Complete lesson instructions and pacing
• A Free Canva Template to create your own Task Cards

I created this FREE lesson so any math teacher using BTC can have access to a quick lesson plan for one of the first few days of school. Get your students out of their seats, standing at their whiteboards, and thinking deeply about math.
