Students solve a two-step word problem involving multiplication and subtraction and then write an equation to represent the problem.

Students will organize and analyze data to create equations with variables. Students will use their understanding of equations to solve two-step word problems using data collected from the Morgan Woods Fall Festival Supply Sheet. Students will then communicate their understanding of the data through a written budget proposal sheet.

Students will solve two-step word problems involving any of the four operations and represent these problems using equations.

Students will think like chess club members to make two wish lists on how to spend $75 on chess related materials. Then they have to make two new wish lists on how to spend $750 on chess related materials.

Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. MEAs resemble engineering problems and encourage students to create solutions in the form of mathematical and scientific models. Students work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics to solve an open-ended problem while considering constraints and tradeoffs. Students integrate their ELA skills into MEAs as they are asked to clearly document their thought processes. MEAs follow a problem-based, student-centered approach to learning, where students are encouraged to grapple with the problem while the teacher acts as a facilitator.

This MEA asks the students to compare information provided on various Science Space Camps to be attended by a student during the summer. They will take into account past attendees' reviews of the camps which should create interesting student discussions. They will use knowledge of operations to determine the difference in camp costs.

In this Model Eliciting Activity, MEA, students work as a team to figure out which activities they would like to do at the water park with a given amount of tickets and time. Students will make informed decisions about which activities and food and beverage items on which to spend their allotted tickets.

Learn how Maritza uses multiplication to stuff school supplies into backpacks with this interactive tutorial.

Solve some two-step word problems and write equations about sea turtles and how pollution created by people is impacting their survival in this interactive tutorial.  

For students who are unfamiliar with this language the task provides a preparation for the later understanding that a fraction of a quantity is that fraction times the quantity.

Students can practice answering mathematics questions on a variety of topics. With an account, students can save their work and send it to their teacher when complete.

Solve a two-step word problem by drawing a picture and creating an equation.
