About this resource
Description
Word problems help children see how math works in real life. This barnyard math word problems activity takes young learners to the farm to add and subtract cows, chickens, pumpkins and bales of hay. Children read each problem card, draw a picture to show what is happening, write a number sentence and find the answer. A correct answer earns a mark on the tic-tac-toe board, so every problem moves the game forward.
How the Activity Works
This farm word problem game is played with a partner. Players take turns picking one of 12 lettered problem cards. They solve it on the Draw It! sheet, then check the answer key. If the answer is right, they put their mark on the board. The first player with three in a row wins. The cards include adding, taking away, a missing part and one two-step problem, with answers up to 35.
