Block Math Projects

Students will use a Mad Libs™ style template to create a word problem that will create an equation/inequality that uses distributive property. On this poster project, they will write out the story problem they create, the matching equation/inequality, show their work for solving (optional: two ways), and graph their solution. The fun of the project is personalizing their story problems by incorporating names and objects they choose, sometimes theming it to a particular interest. Enjoy!

This is essentially a choose your own adventure story, but instead of "choosing", students spin a probability wheel to decide the fate of the story. Students love being creative with this and the math comes in on the second part of the activity when they read each other's stories. Students will calculate compound probabilities by multiplying fractions. Enjoy!
