Math Stories

Pin It Teaching Math with Stories

This article gives excellent examples. How can we make our lessons to teach problem solving more interesting and relevant to 4th and 5th graders?


Turn word problems into good stories and watch the results.

Its guaranteed that the kids won't be bore.

Do your students complain when you give them story or word problems? Are they bored with problems about Susie's garden or Farmer John's harvest or rowboats traveling upstream or downstream? Part of the difficulty lies in the way problems are written.

Most word or story problems are not really stories at all - or at least they're not very good stories. Good stories have interesting characters and plots. They may start with a conflict and build to a climax or, like newspaper stories, they may describe the five W's: Who, What, Where, When and Why.
