Description
Who doesn't love pizza? This resource is designed to help students visualize story problems, practicing the art of solving them using a variety of math tools and strategies. This freebie includes one sample story problem from the larger pack here:
Pizza Math Story Problems and Graphing
Included in the main pack:
•Pages 3-7: 5 stories problems relating to life working in a pizza shop! For each problem students will write the equation, draw the two parts for a domino, show the problem on a tens frame, show the problem using tally marks, count up on a number line, and visualize the problem using a picture. This allows students to experience many ways of visualizing and solving story problems, while discovering which method works best for them. In addition, they are using multiple math tools for the same purpose, showing how word problems are more than an answer, but a processes. In class, I encourage students to highlight the numbers in the problem, as well as the words that show which operation in being use (in all, altogether, combined, ect). The first page included an example of how students should complete the boxes.
•Pages 9-11: 4 graphing practice worksheets. On the first students will read the story problem about orders at a pizza shop. They will then graph the data on a bar graph and tally chart, followed by answering questions about the data.
•On the second students will poll one another to find out if pepperoni or cheese is the preferred pizza in class. You could pull the worksheet up on a smart board and graph with the class, calling one student at a time and having the class color with you, or you could have students record students initials in the bar graph and move about the room trying to get data from each person, using the initials to check who they have talk to so far. There is also a tally chart and some questions included.
•On the Third students do a pizza spinner where they record if they spun pepperoni or cheese. Then students analyze there results in a variety of ways, including a math word bank!
