    I would really love some task cards to go with the maths problem solving strategies. Just like you do with the reading comprehension strategies.

      Hi Larisa, Great suggestion! We currently don't have accompanying task cards with this poster set, but please feel free to suggest it direct to our team via the "Suggest a Resource" button at the footer of our site though and our team will take it into consideration for the future. Thanks! Sam
