What are some examples of free reproducible math rebus stories?

They can be used as worksheets. Teachers can create worksheets with math rebus stories for students to solve. For example, a story about sharing candies among friends can be turned into a division problem.

Free rebus stories are stories that use pictures, symbols, or a combination of words and pictures in a kind of puzzle - like way to tell a story. For example, instead of writing the word 'tree', there might be a simple drawing of a tree. They are often used in educational settings to make reading and storytelling more fun and engaging for kids.

There could be a story where Santa is checking his list. He has 50 good kids in one town and 30 in another. By adding, he knows he has 80 kids to deliver presents to. This shows addition in a Christmas context that kids can easily understand. Also, when the elves are packing presents, if each box can hold 5 presents and they have 25 presents, they need 5 boxes. It's a division example within a Christmas story.

Some horror stories involve teachers who are not fully trained in the common core math standards. They struggle to teach the new concepts effectively, which leads to students getting confused. For example, in teaching fraction addition in the common core way, teachers might not be able to clearly explain the need for finding a common denominator through the new visual and conceptual models, causing students to make mistakes and get frustrated with math.

These stories can be a great way to introduce new math topics. Say a story about a treasure hunt where the characters need to use geometric concepts to find the treasure. It can get students excited about learning geometry. Also, free math stories can be shared among students, which promotes collaborative learning as they discuss the math in the stories.

One well - known rebus novel is 'The Da Vinci Code' by Dan Brown. It contains various puzzles and symbolic elements that are like rebuses throughout the story.

One example could be: There are 3 apples on the table, and mom brings 2 more. How many apples are there in total? The answer is 3 + 2 = 5 apples.

A story could be that there is 1 cat sitting on the porch and 3 more cats come. 1 + 3 = 4 cats in total.

Well, there might be a story where a character is on a treasure hunt. To find the treasure, they need to solve math problems. For example, they have to follow a map with coordinates and calculate distances between different landmarks. This kind of story makes math seem like an exciting adventure.

One common example is the use of geometry in 'Flatland'. It uses the concept of two - dimensional shapes living in a two - dimensional world to explore ideas about perception and society. Another is the use of probability in crime novels, where detectives calculate the likelihood of certain events to solve the case.
