There is an M amount of bread in the bag. Chloe was too hungry that she ate three fourths of the slices of bread in the bag without thinking. Then, she ate one more the next day. In total, she ended up eating seven slices of bread. She didn’t remember how many slices of bread she had in the bag! Originally, how many pieces of bread were in the bag?
1) Does the story fit with the equation? Is it functional? Would you actually write this equation from this word story problem?
Yes, the story fits with the equation and is functional. It works for this word problem, and I would write this equation for this story.
2) Does it make sense, or is it a little confusing? Discuss what is not clear, and suggest improvements.
Yes, it makes sense. The only part they could have maybe changed to make the story clearer was the sentence, "Then she ate one more the next day." They could have said, "..one more slice of bread".
3) Are there any grammatical mistakes? How should they be corrected?
They switched from present tense (the first sentence) to past tense. Also, in the second sentence, it would have made more sense if they replaced "too" with "so".
4) Is the story creative? How could it be made better?
Yes, it is creative. Maybe they could switch the food to a more interesting type of food. :)
5) What are the positive points about the word problem?
This world problem makes sense and portrays the correct equation. Also, it is simple but clear.

ReplyDeleteWe think this story fits well with the equation. It is functional too. We would write like this if the equation was given to us too.
2) Does it make sense, or is it a little confusing? Discuss what is not clear, and suggest improvements.
We think this makes sense, however you could of said "without hesitating" instead of "without thinking"
3) Are there any grammatical mistakes? How should they be corrected?
There is no grammatical mistakes.

The story was very creative and fun also!

ReplyDeleteYes, it fits with the equation and it also is functional. Yes, I would write this equation.

It makes sense, but it is kind of confusing. I think they should reword it to be more simple.
3. Are there any grammatical mistakes? How should they be corrected?
The tense changes, and they should switch “too hungry” with “so hungry”.
4. Is the story creative? How could it be made better?
Yes, it is creative. Maybe they could make it a little more funny.
5. What are the positive points about the word problem?
It is mostly easy to understand. Also, we knew what the equation was, even if we never saw it.
