3rd-5th Problem Solving: Holiday Garlands (÷, ×)

t's the most wonderful crafting time of the year!

How many times have you set out to make the world's most beautiful wreaths, cookies, or garlands and then get halfway into the project and lo' and behold...there aren't enough supplies!!!

Let's save our kids from multiple trips to Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Home Depot and teach them to use the POWER OF MATH, with the help of Math Stackers, to make their future festive projects a smooth operation! 😂

Have your kiddos try this problem out and see all of the different ways they will find a solution with their Math Stackers!!!
