Students are SO ENGAGED in this math activity. They receive their mission to save Trina the turkey from the farm so she doesn’t become Thanksgiving dinner 🍽️ and set to work on their math story problems. 

I love how the forms self checks student answers so they cannot move forward unless their answers are correct. Multiple forms are included so you can select the right version for your 1st-3rd grade students!
