"Help Robot Find Rover: Using Addition, Subtraction, and Multiplication to Make a Path" is a worksheet that aims to make addition, subtraction, and multiplication practice fun by asking students to help Robot find Rover. They do that by completing math problems and coloring in boxes or drawing a line according to the directions.

For example, the beginning of one worksheet asks students to subtract two numbers less than 20. Then, students color all the boxes that have a difference of 4, 5, or 6 to reveal the path that Robot should take to reach Rover.

Worksheets get progressively more difficult with harder problems and more boxes to solve. Sometimes, they must color boxes according to whether the answer is an even or an odd number, or they must draw a line for all the boxes that have 7 as a missing digit.

Practicing addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems is important for math fluency and fact-building, but some activities can also give students exposure to math terms and concepts. For example, students should know that the answer to a subtraction problem is called the "difference" and the "sum" is the answer to an addition problem.

You can help students get this kind of practice by giving them math problems and asking them to color the ones with certain answers. For example, students can color all the boxes that have odd differences or sums with a 1 in the tens place.

You can make this activity even more engaging by having their colored boxes reveal the answer to a problem. They can help a character move through a maze or reveal a secret message.
