All Wizards At Work are Standards Based


Each of the Math Wizards At Work is Standards based. Use them to strengthen word/open-ended problem skills for high stakes tests.  Have students write out how they solved the Wizards, explain and defend each step of the solution in paragraph form, and show all work!
