101 Two Truths and One Lie! Math Activities for Grades 3, 4, and 5: 101 Daily Math Practice Activities for Elementary Math Students

I teach middle school math and have been using this as a resource to help my students with problem solving skills. It’s also super helpful when we are in small groups having discussions to help students explain the “why”. Thank you!!!

My students have really enjoyed the puzzles in the series of books by Math Mashups. The books are in black and white (better for photocopying) but there is also a way to get a downloadable colour version through their website. This one presents three math 'statements' and asks students to figure out which one is wrong. They have been a particular hit as an online learning math activity. After the first few they can do them independently with no extra explanation, and they are more fun than regular worksheet. So glad I stumbled on these.

First know that I am a special education teacher at a high school level teaching students experiencing a variety of barriers including disability, socioeconomic status, and being in process of learning English. I have been teaching individuals who experience disability for going on 20 years.  All of my students have had a lot of failure around academics which has led to the additional complication of learned helplessness.  These books are an awesome resource to help them push past these barriers in a way that leans on their strengths by making it visual and seem less intimidating.  I have been using them for warm ups, challenge questions and "break" days from the normal curriculum to keep them working on their logic and reasoning skills (critical for life as well as math tasks) and keeping the math portions of their brains active.  I started off with the free samples but these have been so popular and high demand that I have bought every book that is available to I have as much variety as possible and so I don't run out!

This is a great concept to motivate students to solve math problems and have engaging discussions. Topics and standards included! Great for all ages. Great for two truths Tuesday’s warmups, or exit quizzes after a lesson

I love the examples in the book! However, I am very disappointed that the pages are black and white and not as eye-catching as the front and back cover.
