Description

This story problem letter from math class is a perfect choice when using my Close Reading in Math for any Story Problem organizers.

Add a little fun and humor to your math class! CeeCee Math is a student who struggles with the new math standards, especially the eight practices which require discussion and explanation of our thinking. She is writing to your students from math class, asking for help in solving some real-life story problems posed by her math teacher. CeeCee asks your students to work with their math group and to write a return letter to her math group explaining their solution and their thinking. The problems posed come from actual situations in my classroom. The letters have information that is needed for the solution and some unnecessary information as well. CeeCee introduces us to the members of her math group, and a little humor is added for fun! Of course the letters really come to you, and revealing your identity as CeeCee or yourself is up to you!

The rubric , checklist, and completed letters from CeeCee make great additions to your Interactive Math Notebook! CeeCee Math work can be used as a center activity or as a whole-class math project. Recommended for advanced third graders through sixth graders.

Each monthly CeeCee Math resource includes:

*General letter from CeeCee explaining her frustration with the new standards.

*Checklist of Eight Mathematical Practices

*Rubric for the written response expected in the form of a letter to CeeCee

*”I Can” statements for that month’s problem

*New letter from CeeCee explaining her authentic classroom math problem

*Blank student response pages for collaborative or individual work

*Teacher explanation of the current problem

*Teacher solution page

Most pages can be viewed by the whole class projected on your smart board or screen to save on printing. Checklist and rubric are the same each month, and can be glued into your Math Notebooks. Each group will need one copy of CeeCee’s current letter.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots. For example, from a line plot find and interpret the difference in length between the longest and shortest specimens in an insect collection.
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, "Does this make sense?" They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.
