This is an Arithmetic Theme Park Word Problem Activity that was designed for upper elementary students who have learning or are reviewing this skill. This resource is a 12-page printable.

How To Implement This Resource:

You will print off the word problem “tickets” and the answer “cars” and laminate them. You will also print off enough recording sheets for all students. There are 12 tickets for students to match with the correct ride.

Standard: Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
