    My students loved these! The photographs were great for real life connections and sparked some interesting conversations. Thank you!

  2. Erika Horn –

    I used this for extra practice with word problems. My students are struggling with this topic. I feel like these were a little too difficult for my students for the beginning of the year, but we will revisit them later on for more practice in centers or small group instruction.

  3. Rachel S. –

    Amazing photos and great practice!!

  4. Elizabeth M. –

    The real life problems are great for students that struggle with problem solving!!

  5. Andrea P. –

    I love the realistic photos and information contained in the problems.

  6. Theresa Sweeney –

    First, the product is perfect. Great for Zoom .But don’t think it’s just for 1st- unfortunately my older students have regressed and have been using it with 3rd and 4th. sad face…

  7. Elizabeth Ammons –

    These are fantastic because they are interesting for students without being my typical plugging in 2 of their names and putting it in a classroom scenario. My students really enjoyed these! I trust Catherine’s thoughtfulness as she creates resources, and I will continue to use this with future groups of students.

  8. Miss Conner’s Classroom –

    The real-life context is excellent! Some of these word problems are very tricky though for first graders.

  9. Matthew B. –

    It is so nice to be able to easily pull up one of these great real world math problems. My students can’t wait to see what their problem of the day will be about.

    What I was looking for and didn’t know it. Thanks for sharing your gift

  13. Emily E. –

    These are excellent for my early finishers. It makes them slow down and THINK! By the end of the year, I hope to be able to use them with all students, but for now they are good for differentiation within the classroom.

  14. Hollis B. –

    So excited to use these with my first graders! Thank you so much for sharing your hard work with teachers!

  15. Marie S. –

    nice

  16. Chelsi G. –

Downloads

How do I access my downloads?

Right after you check out, your download links are on the order confirmation page, and your receipt email has the same links. Don’t see the email? Check your spam or promotions folder.

You can also grab your files anytime: log in and go to My Account > Downloads.

My download is a .zip file. How do I open it?

Each resource downloads as a .zip folder that holds all of its files.

  • iPhone or iPad: open the Files app, find the zip in Downloads, and tap it. It unzips into a folder you can open.
  • Mac: double-click the zip.
  • Windows: right-click the zip and choose Extract All.
My file won’t open or shows a file-path error.

This usually happens on Windows when the files are unzipped inside the Downloads folder, because the folder path gets too long. Move the zip to your Desktop, then right-click it and choose Extract All.

Still stuck? Reach out and I’ll help.

Do I need an account?

No, you can check out without signing up. An account is created for you automatically with the email you use at checkout, and you’ll get an email to set your password. If you already have an account, your order is added to it.

They can make ten. Can they use it?

Help students turn “I know ten” into “I can use ten.”

Join me for a hands-on workshop exploring what to model, which questions to ask, and how to respond when students get stuck using ten to add and subtract.
