Third-grade mathematicians became problem creators as they wrote their own multiplication word problems. After creating their problems, students exchanged papers with classmates and put their math skills to work solving each other’s challenges. They used a variety of strategies, including arrays, equal groups, and repeated addition, to find the correct answers. Students practiced critical thinking, problem-solving, and explaining their mathematical reasoning. It was a fun and engaging way to learn from one another while building confidence in multiplication!
