I got these for my kids. They are varying grades 3-8. But it has helped each of them understand how to do multi step problems and it has carried over into other areas of learning.

I used to offer these as math challenges for those who asked for them, or for early finishers (probably the same kids!), but then started to do them during math talks to offer all the kids the opportunity to think creatively.
