options: Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.

Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.

Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.

Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to create a poster of their story problem so that others can solve it. Students use these posters in the next activity, in which they solve, and write equations for other students’ story problems. They notice connections between the equation and the written problem and create a poster that communicates their work.
Alternatively, to make this task more challenging, students can rewrite their stories as missing addend story problems.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Tools for creating a visual display
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group tools for creating a visual display.
“Now we’re going to use your story problems from the last activity to make posters so we can show our thinking and challenge each other.”
Activity
“Choose one of the story problems you and your partner wrote. Create a poster with your story problem. Your classmates will solve it in the next activity. So make sure to not include the answer.”
5 minutes: partner work time.
“Take turns sharing your poster with another pair at your table.”
“The pair listening should tell the presenters if their poster is clear and organized.”
5 minutes: group work time.
If needed, give students an opportunity to revise their posters.

Activity Synthesis
“What were some things you changed to make your poster clear and organized for the gallery walk?” (We wrote the story problem bigger. We added a picture to go with my story.)
