There were a certain amount of math problems for homework. 12 more questions were added by Mr. Jobe. But, Lynn made Mr. Jobe mad making him give the whole class twice amount of homework. Mr. Jobe felt bad for the rest of the class when Lynn was the only one who made Mr. Jobe mad. So, Mr. Jobe let everyone else except Lynn do only 1/5 of the homework. The rest of the class now only has to do 10 questions. How many math problems did they have for homework in the very beginning?
1) Does the story fit with the equation? Is it functional? Would you actually write this equation from this word story problem?
Yes the story fits with the equation, and is functional. I would actually write this equation if I had to solve this problem.
2) Does it make sense, or is it a little confusing? Discuss what is not clear, and suggest improvements.
This equation makes sense, and is not confusing. It would have been better if they said “added 12 bonus points” instead of “12 more questions.” It was clear when they said everyone got 1/5 of the actual homework.
3) Are there any grammatical mistakes? How should they be corrected?
There should be a comma after “mad” in the second sentence.
4) Is the story creative? How could it be made better?
Yes, it was creative, but to make it better they should use other person’s name.
5) What are the positive points about the word problem?

5) What are the positive points about the word problem?
The problem is organized and easy to understand.
1.The story does fit in the equation.
ReplyDelete2.It is little confusing because if Mr.Jobe was mad, why would he give Lynn less homework?
3.If a number such as 12 starts a sentence, it needs to be changed to a word. Avoid starting the sentence with But. Try using However instead.
4.The story is creative enough with little grammar mistakes.
5.The positive points about the problem is that they made the questions funny and creative.
