Printable math task cards for grades 3–5. Six sets of 32 cards, four to a page, ready to print and cut apart — with a drawn model on almost every card, four difficulty levels printed on the cards themselves, two recording sheets, and an answer key that shows the step. Color and black-and-white.
Thirty-two multi-step word problems that start with two-step adding and subtracting and finish with three steps and remainders that carry the meaning — how many vans, how many full boxes. Twenty of them come with an array or a tape diagram, because the picture is what turns a wall of words into a first step.
Every one of these thirty-two cards carries a fraction model drawn from its own numbers — a bar or a circle cut into equal parts, two bars the same length for comparing, a number line with a point to name. Naming, equivalence, comparing, then adding, subtracting, and reading a number line.
Thirty-two cards, every one with a figure: rectangles ruled into unit squares so area can be counted rather than asserted, missing-side problems, and L-shaped composite figures with all six sides labeled. The missing-side cards are deliberately not drawn to scale, and say so.
Thirty-two cards, each with an analog clock drawn at the exact time it names — and the hour hand moves with the minutes, so half past three sits half way to four rather than parked on the three. Reading the clock, finding an end time, and working out how long something took.
Thirty-two cards that start with base-ten blocks drawn to scale — a flat really is ten rods — and finish on a number line where the point has to be read before the number can be rounded. Two of the cards land exactly halfway, and the key says so rather than pretending one end is nearer.
Eight graphs — bar graphs with real labeled scales, pictographs with a key, and line plots — each asked about four different ways. Every card carries its own copy of its graph, so the set still works once the cards are cut apart and shuffled.
