Imagine you are a detective on a sweet mission! 🍬
Welcome, detectives! Every day at Mr. Sweet's Candy Factory, magical things happen. But today, there's a mystery that needs solving, and we need your math skills!
In the factory, there are three rooms where different types of candies are made. Mr. Sweet has provided us with some clues in the form of word problems that will help us uncover the mystery of the missing candies!
To kick off our lesson, let’s dive into our first clue!
Clue 1: In the first room, there are 120 chocolate bars. If 45 bars are packaged and sent out for delivery, how many chocolate bars are left in the room?
Now that we've whetted our appetites for problem-solving, let’s unravel more exciting clues throughout the lesson! You’ll work in pairs to tackle various word problems, just like detectives working together to crack the case.
Let’s get started on your candy mystery-solving mission! 🕵️♂️🕵️♀️
By introducing the lesson with an imaginative storyline, students will be more engaged and motivated to learn about word problems while applying their math skills in a fun and interactive way.
