On Christmas Eve, Mr. Jobe had g number of candies. He needed more for his F block class, so he asked other teachers to give him candies for Christmas. So, Mr.Myers secretly crept into his room and counted the number of candies Mr. Jobe already had. He gave him 3 times that number of candies because the number of candies Mr. Jobe had right now was too small. Mr. Jobe thanked him and later his F block class ate half of his candies. Since he had so little, Mr.Myers gave him 6 more candies again. Now he has 18 pieces of candy. He wants to know how many candies he had in the beginning (g).
1) Does the story fit with the equation? Is it functional? Would you actually write this equation from this word story problem? - We like the story because it was kind of funny, and that we wouldn't find it surprising if Mr. Jobe actually put the question on a test.
2) Does it make sense, or is it a little confusing? Discuss what is not clear, and suggest improvements. - The question is good, and it makes sense, but if we had to pick a weak point, we found the question kind of harder than it should be because the name 'Mr. Jobe' kept on coming out repeatedly when you just could've said something like 'he'.
3) Are there any grammatical mistakes? How should they be corrected? - We found no serious grammatical errors (:
4) Is the story creative? How could it be made better? - We thought that the story was overall pretty good.
5) What are the positive points about the word problem? - We liked how the question was very straight-forward and clear, which made it easy for us to come up with an equation.
Yes, I liked this word problem I would write this the correct equation by reading this word problem. The question made sense and was very good, but we found that we would have to read closly to understand it. I think this is because the names of teachers and classes standed out a lot more than the actual numbers that matter. We couldn't find any grammatical errors in this word problem. We thought that the word problem was good and very creative. We thought that they had a great idea and wondered how they thought of it. :D We liked that the word problem was very clear and told us cleary about what happened to the candies.
1)Does the story fit with the equation? Is it functional? Would you actually write this equation from this word story problem? --The story fits well with the equation very well. At first we thought you guys copied from a textbook.--
2) Does it make sense, or is it a little confusing? Discuss what is not clear, and suggest improvements. --It makes sense. I would be able to make it into a equation in no time.--
3) Are there any grammatical mistakes? How should they be corrected? --We found no big errors.--
4) Is the story creative? How could it be made better? --It is creative. Not many people would have thought Mr. Jobe giving candies in Christmas.-- 5) What are the positive points about the word problem? --It was straight forward and concise.
On Christmas Eve, Mr. Jobe had g number of candies. He needed more for his F block class, so he asked other teachers to give him candies for Christmas. When Ms. Lee heard that, she secretly crept into his room and counted the number of candies he already had. She gave him 3 times that number of candies because the number of candies he had right now was too small. Mr. Jobe thanked her and later his F block class ate half of his candies. Since he had so little again, Ms. Lee gave him 6 more candies. Now he has 18 pieces of candy. He wants to know how many candies he had in the beginning (g). How many were there?
