Math Story Problems on the Playground

Students created math word problems to act out on the O.B. playground. 


Two kids were playing on the monkey bars. 
Seven kids joined them.  
How many kids were playing on the monkey bars in all?



Four kids were playing on the up-slide.  
Two kids came down. 
How many kids were playing on the slide?


Three people were on the monkey bars.  
Then, four more kids got on the monkey bars.  
How many kids are on the monkey bars now? 


Two kids were playing on the monkey bars.  
Five kids were waiting to get on the monkey bars. 
How many kids will play on the monkey bars?


One kid was playing on the Infinity Circle.  
Three kids joined him.  
How many kids are playing on the Infinity Circle in all?


In the classroom, students had to create a number bond to match the word problem as well as an equation.  We had a great time developing and acting out our story problems.
