Math All Around Us

-Students will identify real world problems from given story problems.
-Students find places, events, or items in the school envoronment that can be used to create story problems.
-example: Students take a picture of the Olive Bowl and measure its diamater. They also take a picture of the square track area and measure the dimensions. Questions could be is it farther to run around the Olive Bowl (circumference) or around the four backstops at PE (perimeter).
-example: students can use the video feature of the cameras to video a race during pe. Using the ratextime=distance formula, students can calculate and compare the speeds of students.
-In a PowerPoint presentation, students will share out their story problems. They will give the class a chance to work out problems and allow them to create extension questions.
