Graphic organizer for solving word problems. Guides students to analyze multiple choice answers by creating them on their own. Students create four possible answers for a word problem. I taught my students that one answer would be the correct answer, one would be the opposite of what you were supposed to do (add instead of subtract) one would be using incorrect math and one would be a crazy answer. Students really got into this because they thought they were tricking the standardized tests.

I created this T-Chart to help my students further their understanding of Tall Tales.
