One Step Equations | Pick the Profession | Math in the Real World Activity

Do you want your students to see firsthand how the math skills they are learning in class are used in a variety of professions?  This product is designed to help answer the famous question, when are we ever going to use this?

This Pick the Profession activity includes 8 “real world” word problems.  Each problem is connected to a profession. 

This purchase includes 2 different teaching options to use in your classroom. (See Video Preview!)

1. Google Doc containing the problems.  This is perfect for assigning with Google Classroom or as a printable.
2. Canva Presentation - A high-quality interactive Canva presentation.  You must have a Canva account to access the presentation.  It is 100% free. 

This product may be used in a variety of ways:

• Assign the google doc problems for homework
• Use the problems as part of a math center
• Print the google slides and use them as task cards
• Complete the problems as an entire class. 

I personally use this activity as part of a middle school solving equations unit of study.
