Want to do a little math this summer but need a break from the textbooks?
Try filling a pitcher with a one-cup measuring cup. Count how many cups it takes.
When you’re done write a sentence telling how many cups it took to fill you pitcher.
You’ve just written the “first sentence” of a typical word problem in a textbook!
Too easy?!? Fill the same pitcher with tablespoons instead of cups. Count those up.
Take pictures and send them to me at ellen@9QMath.com. I’m accumulating pics of
folks enjoying math!
