The "Mixed Skills With Review Math, Creative Writing Exercises, and Brain Teasers" worksheet features a wide variety of mixed math and writing activities that include:

* Filling in a word in a sentence, like a word that starts with a certain letter or the correct word from a word bank.

* Putting characters in the correct order according to a word problem.

* Being given the answer and students have to come up with a matching question.

* Rewriting paragraphs according to the directions, like adding adjectives or adding sentences.

* Reading a few sentences and then finishing the story.

* Circling the best deal at the market, like 5 for $5.00 or 3 for $10.00.

* Simple subtraction and addition word problems.

* How many zeros a certain number has, like eight thousand and ten.

* And more.

Each problem has short blanks, blank lines, or blank sections, depending on the question, to give students plenty of space to write the answer or write sentences. Each problem is accompanied by a unique title, so students can complete the ones you write on the board or assign as homework, leaving the remaining questions unfinished until later.

Practicing specific skills on worksheets is important when students are learning those skills, but you can promote problem-solving and critical thinking skills by combining a wide range of skills on the same page.

You can combine skills within the same subject, but you can also combine skills between subjects. For example, students could answer addition problems and then finish a story prompt on the same page. These worksheets are a great idea for early finishers, giving students something to do if they finish the main activity. You can ask students to solve one problem each day and then review the answer together as a class, or they could complete worksheets for extra credit.
