This task has students solve a multi-step addition and subtraction problem based on a given data chart. Students are solving a variety of problem types involving addition and subtraction. This task is related to evidence statement 3.D.2 and Common Core Standard 2.OA.A.1
This task is focused on Common Core Standards 3.OA.3 Students are applying understanding of multiplication concepts to solve a multi-step word problem related to a real life context. This is a good beginning task to help students show all their work using equations to represent the solution path for the task. It also helps students focus on precision as they need to represent the problem with the correct equations.
4.OA.1. Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison and represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
This is an activity for students to work on in pairs practicing simple interest. It involves real online research and presents an open-ended question. This would be most effective after students have had instruction and some practice.
