Start a “Problem of the Day” in your middle school math class!

This resource contains:

• A powerpoint presentation that contains one question per slide
• A printable version that has 3 word problems per page
• A list of all the questions and answers for the teacher
• A table of contents that lists each topic and the problem numbers that use that particular skill
• A chart showing which Common Core standard correlates with each question

Topics covered in this set of word problems include:
– decimals
– fractions/mixed numbers
– percents
– ratios/rates/proportions
– area/perimeter/circumference
– customary system
– metric system

Many of the word problems require students to read carefully to ensure that they answer the question that is asked and most of the word problems require multiple step solutions.
