Engage NY Module 3 Application Problems

Has your school jumped on the Engage NY train yet?  At my school we voted as a staff to follow it this year because we were unhappy with the program we were using.  I tested it out a little bit last year and am working my way through the program this year.  I like it but like any program it takes some getting used to.  We're all struggling a bit as we work our way through it but I'm hoping that by next year it won't feel so new and overwhelming.  The hardest part so far has been the pacing.  There are exactly 180 lessons and exactly 180 days of school for us.  Like it's possible to teach a lesson EVERY day ALL school year.  What about the first day of school, or field trips, or holidays, or days they just didn't get it and you want to stop and reteach.
Anyway, I'm not here today to complain about it and tell you everything that is wrong with it, like I said I do like the program, I'm here to share a new product with you.  After searching pinterest and TPT for resources to use with the program I felt underwhelmed by what was out there so I decided to make some of my own.  The first product I have finished is my Engage NY 2nd Grade Application Problems for Module 3.  




I started with module 3 because well that's where we were in the program.  The file contains all of the Engage NY Module 3 Application problems for 2nd grade.  It can be used for displaying on your interactive whiteboard or printed for the students.  When I use it on my activboard I just annotate over the screen so that we can solve it together on the board after the students have worked on the problem in their math journals. I included student work pages that you can copy and assemble as workbooks for your students, or I like to just print the slides in a smaller size for students to cut and glue into their math journals since we had already started using our composition books for that before I made this product. Each page/slide contains the lesson title, application problem from that lesson, as well as blank space at the bottom for solving the problem. I hope you find this product useful, I know it saves me time as I'm preparing for the lessons. I am currently working on Module 4 since we are about to start that and will post it once it's ready. I do plan to do this for all of the modules so if this is something you can use follow me so you'll get the updates when I have added them to my store. :) I am also considering doing this for other grade levels once I have finished with 2nd grade so comment below with your grade level if this is something you could use in your classroom.

As Always Thanks for Reading!
