Students worked in groups to design word problems that modeled linear equations in order to solve a practical situation in a real world context. They then used the linear equation to find the solution to the problem. Developing the word problem prompted students to think critically about the connection between their study of math in school and their lives at home. Finally, students worked through and critiqued each other’s work. This allowed them to check for understanding within themselves and amongst one another.

Students work in groups to design word problems which model linear equations to solve a practical situation in a real world context. They then use the equation to find the solution to the problem. Students will read and write for meaning in their own lives. After creating their own word problems, students visit each others work in order to understand possible other scenarios to apply their model and check for their understanding.

Students will work in diads or triads to design word problems, which model linear equations to solve a practical situation in a real world context. They will then use the equations to find the solution to the problem. Students will read and write for meaning and application in their own lives. After creating their own word problems, students will visit each others' work in order to understand possible other scenarios to apply to their model and check for their understanding.
