AFL Max- Multiplicative Thinking Complex Question

BWCreated by BillieCreated by Billie
$6.00

Description

This multi-step learning activity is comparing 2 estimated answers about how much money AFL Max could make in a day. Students choose which answer they think is the most reasonable and justify why. Students are encouraged to prove their answer by showing their thinking (using estimation) and by using an appropriate strategy to calculate a long multiplication problem in order to help them justify with mathematical language.

It has been carefully designed to spark students' interests and ensures they will need to use problem solving skills and reasoning to justify their answers. Teachers can easily focus on helping their students to develop their resilience, resourcefulness and reflectiveness within this complex and unfamiliar question.
