This week as an extension to learning how to correctly write and solve equations, I had each student pick an equation from their Equation Wheel in their INB and transform it into a word problem.
I will say that this was absolutely the best thing for them because they were able to visualize the different pieces of an equation and how it works together.
Friday they will be working with creating a word problem containing multiplying or dividing of fractions. Look for some recipes to come! :)
