So I am planning a lesson for my introduction to solving equations. I am not totally sure how it will work, but I am going to attempt a small bit of WCYDWT. My steps to this lesson consisted as this:
And that is what I did. I found some interesting word problems, ones that as Dan says, take out all of the guess work, and I made it my own. I added some humour into it, and voilà this is what I cam up with.
I will lead you into this, much the same as Dan does, by first giving you the prompt (or the question).
- I need to make a lesson for Monday.
- I am bored of giving the same old thing.
- I want to make a "Hook" question that will get kids engaged.
- How can I turn one of these text book problems into something engaging.

What is the question here? This is what I will ask my students. What question is knocking on your door that you must answer?
