5th Grade Math Final Project
Project developed by rdcurry  Vinci Park School, San Jose, CA.

 

5th Grade Math

 Grade 5
Student Word Problems
by 5th grade students

Objectives
Students will write word problems using several types of operations that were learned during the school year.  In cooperative groups or pairs, students will:

  1. Brainstorm ideas for a theme or story line
  2. identify at least 2 different types of math skills that were covered in 5th grade to use in the word problems
  3. Locate and save images to visually support the word problems
  4. write a rough draft of the problems, edit and then input the final draft into a web builder (We used netscape composer) and then publish after it has been checked by the teacher
  5. share their work with other students as a year-end culminating activity
