Description

Proportions (with Word Problems) Math Lib

Students will practice solving proportions and using proportions to solve word problems with this Math Lib activity. There are some challenging word problems that require critical thinking in order to set them up and solve correctly also included.

The answers they get will generate a funny story about their teacher. This is a much more fun approach to multiple choice, and the students adore reading the story to the class. They get very excited to see which of their teachers is the "star" of the story.

EDIT ALL STORY ELEMENTS! All slides are given in an editable format so you are free to personalize the story for your students. PowerPoint is required to edit. Only story elements can be changed, not the actual problems.

GOOGLE FORM OPTION: This activity includes a link to a Google Forms version of the activity. If you have already purchased this resource, please redownload for the update.

Great value
I love Mad Libs and used them all the time when I taught ELA, so I was thrilled to find a math version. Being able to customize the story with the names of teachers at your own school adds a fun little twist to a typical station activity.

One of the few activities my resource students have loved. They love trying to figure out the weird phrases and have led to some hilarity ensuing.
