"A Remainder of One" Math Worksheet
Objective:
Students will develop number sense and problem-solving skills.
Standard Learning Expectation (SLE):
Students will explain their calculation methods when solving a problem.
Instructions:
Read the book "A Remainder of One" to students, stopping at the point where Oddball Joe is left over when they are trying to form lines of three, and he is lying in bed, frustrated, trying to solve the problem.
Challenge Question:
How can all 25 bugs be arranged into equal lines so that Oddball Joe (the Remainder of One) can be part of the group? What strategy can Oddball Joe use to solve this problem?
Worksheet Activities:
Identifying Key Numbers:
Write down the important numbers mentioned in the story that relate to the problem.
Choosing the Right Operation:
What mathematical operation will you use to solve this problem? Explain your choice.
Problem Solving:
Work out the solution. Show all your calculations and steps.
Word Sentence Solution:
Write the solution in a complete sentence, explaining how the bugs can be arranged.
Solution Check:
Review your solution. Does it make sense? Is there more than one possible solution?
Reflection:
After solving the problem, listen to the rest of the book. Did you arrive at the same solution as Oddball Joe? Discuss any differences.
Extension Activity - Create Your Own Problem:
Invent a similar problem involving a different number of characters or objects. Share it with a peer for them to solve. Include:
The total number of items/characters.
The challenge (e.g., dividing them into equal groups).
A twist, like the 'remainder of one'.
Peer Review:
Exchange problems with a classmate. Solve their problem and provide feedback on the challenge level and creativity of the problem.
