Elementary Story Problem Movies

Objectives:
1. Students will write an additon or subtraction story problem.
2. Students will direct classmates in acting out the story problems.
3. Students will be able to write the correct math equation and label to go with each story problem.

Each student wrote and edited an addition or subtraction story problem. They had to list their setting and characters.
The student drew classmates names out to be the "actors" for their story problem movie.
The student then "directed" their classmates for their story problem movie.
The teacher used a flip camera to record each story problem.
Once all students have had their story problem filmed, the movies were then played for the whole class.
After each "movie" students solve the math problems by writing out the equation along with the label.
