Rearranging Parts Word Problems
Students may have mastered rearranging parts using physical materials and numerals but can they interpret a word problem?
Use this worksheet with your students who need an extra challenge. They will demonstrate their ability to interpret a word problem and show two arrangements of items that reach a specified total as outlined in the questions.
An answer key with example answers is included with your download, which can be used to provide examples to students.
