problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to solve a variety of Add to and Take from Result or Change Unknown story problems. Students solve the story problems any way they choose and write an equation that matches the story and has a box around the answer to the question. During the activity synthesis, students consider the different ways to write equations for a story problem.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis: For each method that is shared, invite students to turn to a partner and restate what they heard using precise mathematical language.
Advances: Listening, Speaking
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Chunk this task into more manageable parts. Check in with students to provide feedback and encouragement after each chunk.
Supports accessibility for: Social-Emotional Functioning, Attention

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share the equation for each problem.
"Why is the answer in different places in our equations?" (Because in some stories we know the two numbers to add together and then the answer is the total. In other problems we know the starting number and the total and the answer is the other number we added.)
