About this resource
Description
Measurement word problems ask children to add and subtract lengths that use the same unit, like inches. This ice fishing word problems activity helps 2nd and 3rd grade students solve addition and subtraction problems within 100 about fishing lines, fish, ropes and ice holes. Children learn to draw a picture of the lengths and write an equation with a symbol for the answer.
Sam and Jake are out on the frozen lake, and every task card tells a story about their ice fishing trip. Children pick a lettered card, write its letter on the recording sheet, draw the lengths in the drawing box, then write the numbers, the plus or minus sign and the answer in inches. A practice page reviews the same skill with four new problems.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with simple steps, materials and prep tips
- 12 lettered ice fishing task cards on two cut sheets
- Two recording sheets with a letter box, a drawing box and equation boxes
- A 2nd grade practice worksheet with four length word problems
- An answer key for every task card and the practice page
Why Length Word Problems Help Kids Learn
First, drawing the lengths helps children see whether a problem joins two parts or compares them. Second, writing the equation with the unit builds the habit of checking that an answer makes sense. Third, the task cards turn practice into a game, so children solve many problems without feeling like they are doing a test.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the cards at a math center, during small group time or as a scoot game around the room. Partners can solve a card each and then check each other’s equations. These 2nd grade measurement word problems also work well as a quick review before a measurement test. Pair the ice fishing word problems activity with the resources below for more practice.
