Math just got real! Scholars solve seven word problems dealing with life applications for multiplication, division, and subtraction.  They show their work in a designated space, and must include units in their answers. Learners will work with fractions and decimals in some of these answers. There are two completed examples. Consider translating one or two of these to a personalized scenario (i.e. "The class walks 200 feet to the cafeteria every day for lunch. How far is this trek if they do it for one week? Two weeks?").
