Need Multi-Part Math Tasks and Word Problems?

The particular resource that I use to teach multi part word problems and constructed response math tasks comes with three different versions of each task. The tasks themselves are not differentiated, but the response part is differentiated. The first level has sentence stems to help the students respond in complete sentences. The second level has no stems but separates the work space for each part. The final part (where I will eventually move all my students to) has no stems and no separate work space. The students will be expected to organize their answers on their own with no scaffold. Click here to see the bundle that includes 60 math tasks (20 Whole Numbers, 20 Fractions, and 20 Decimals).
