Math Club Mystery
In Math Club Mystery students are asked to find out how many students, teachers and parents went on a trip to the movies. The key concept is to set up equations that represent the given information and use those equations to determine, from the given information the possible combinations of students, teachers and parents that were on the trip.
This task includes:
- Problem
- Teacher Packet - the teacher packet provides an "answer check" and a range of sample solutions.
- Primary Rubric
- Scenario - the scenario provides a story to help introduce the problem in a way that makes the mathematics as relevant as possible.
