Peter Pan - Math Problem Solving – 4th & 5th Grade
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
WANT AN INTERESTING WAY TO GET YOUR STUDENTS INTRIGUED WITH MATH?
Students are generally familiar with the Peter Pan movie and story, right? This leads to quick engagement with the original classic novel, upon which these math questions are based. As the students talk about the math and how to solve they also get caught up in the story and can’t wait to continue!
The Peter Pan story, based on the J.M. Barrie classic, is used to captivate your students while they are learning math. This fantasy story includes Peter and his fantastic friends and foes. More importantly, it helps learning math to be fun and interesting!
You can put the problems on a white board and have the entire class work a problem at a time. I spend 30 minutes twice a week on these problems. I have them write with dry erase markers on their desks and walk around and give them feedback so they can be successful.
These would also be great for a class or grade level theme based math competition.
They can be used for RTI groups to build growth with your students.
You can copy them and assign to students for a challenge or when they are “done.” They have been so excited about this series they have asked me to write more math problems with other novels.
A GREAT WAY TO RAISE THEIR BENCHMARK SCORES, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY... THEY LEARN TO LOVE MATH!

In addition, there are versions of this unit for other grade levels. This allows you the option of having different levels of the unit for different levels of learners.
This unit is a set of 61 constructed-response problems that cover the entire story line of "Peter Pan" through math problems. There is an answer key in the back of the unit.
