Writing Word Problems for the Four Basic Operations on Whole Numbers, MA 118, Fall 2010, Overmann
For this assignment, you will be writing mathematics word problems using the model and context indicated. Each problem should be clear and well-written, using correct grammar and spelling. The word problem must be word-processed. Immediately following the word problem, provide a neat hand-written solution which clearly illustrates the model used to solve the problem. This assignment will be worth 35 points; each item will be worth 2.5 points and will be graded on grammar, punctuation, spelling, neatness, appropriateness and creativity in addition to correct model and context usage. Staple this sheet to the front of your assignmentwhich will be due Wednesday, October 13.
