An elf that wishes to remain anonymous shared this with me today. There are 10 word problems that relate to the Polar Express book. Most could be solved with Model Drawing. The teacher changes out the names used in the problems with students' names. This teacher will do one a day the last two weeks before Christmas break. Ten engaging and relevant problems that would be most appropriate for 2nd - 3rd grade. Here are Problem 1 and Problem 9 as a sample:
1) When Kelly got on board the Polar Express, there were 31 seats available. The train has a total of 159 seats. How many seats were already filled?
9) As Santa and his reindeer took off into the sky, they were traveling at 431 miles per hour. The farther away they got the faster they would go. The Sky Officer measured Santa traveling at the speed of 900 miles per hour. How much faster was Santa traveling than when he first took off into the air?
Thank you so much for passing this on!
