Templates
Below are algebra story problem "templates." These are pages that contain the outline of an algebra story problem with text boxes and drop-downs that students can use to personalize the problem to their interests. Once the problem is written, the student can answer the problem and check their answer.
Scroll down for available templates. The top section is organized by career or popular culture TOPIC, the bottom section is organized by type of mathematical FUNCTION.
