    This document provides instructions for an activity where students will write word problems to represent given math equations. It outlines two steps: 1) Work with a partner to write a word problem for the equation 3x + 4 = 16. Check that the problem makes sense and represents the equation. 2) Edit another pair's word problem by providing feedback using an editing checklist. The checklist addresses whether the problem matches the equation, could use better vocabulary than math terms, and how to improve clarity.

    Equation: 3x + 4 = 16

    Checklist:
    Our problem is easy to read and understand.
    Our problem is creative and does not use the words multiply, add, subtract, or divide.
    The situation in our problem is reasonable and makes sense.
    Solve your equation. Does the answer fit the context of your problem? For example, it
    probably doesnt make sense for someone to have 18 houses.
    Work backwards. Make sure that your word problem gets you back to your equation.
    Once you are satisfied with your problem, write it at the top of the next page.
    If you have extra time, use the extra space to draw a picture that represents your problem!
