1 Name Due March 9th Solving Multi-Step Equations Project Directions 1. Get into groups of three or four students. (Choose wisely) 2. Each group is given 4 story problems. 3. Use the Buck Strategy to decode the story problem (annotation) 4. Write an equation for each story problem and then solve the equation. 5. Divide your product into 4 parts (one part for each story problem). Each part in the product should have the following: i. The story problem. ii. The correct Buck Strategy annotation with the variable defined iii. The correct equation for the story problem. iv. The work on how to solve the equation. v. Written directions on the steps taken to solve the problem. 6. Make sure each person in the group is equally participating. 7. Choices for product (digital or paper submissions): a.

Required Elements Time on Task Attractiveness/ Performance Story Problem/ Two Step Equation Two Step Equation Calculations All of the time in class was spent on task. The product is exceptionally attractive in terms of design, layout and neatness. Each story problem has the correct equation that represents the situation. There are no mathematical mistakes on the product. Most of the time in class was spent on task. The product is attractive in terms of design, layout and neatness. There is 1 mistake with the equation representing the story problem. There are 1-2 mathematical mistakes on the product. Less than half of the time in class was spent on task. The product is acceptably attractive though it may be a bit messy. There are 2 mistakes with the equation representing the story problem There are 3-4 mathematical mistakes on the product. Several required elements are missing. Little to no time in class was spent on task. The product is distractingly messy or very poorly designed. It is not attractive. There is more than 2 mistakes with the equation representing the story problem There are more than 4 mathematical mistakes on the product.
