What educators are saying

A great resource for the beginning of the year! My 3rd-grade students loved being able to create equations to describe themselves, plus it helped give me gain a gauge of their math abilities. I highly recommend it.
Absolutely loved this resource for my students to get to know me and do some math at the same time. My students then made their own as a way to get to know their classmates.

Description

This "Figure Me Out" math activity is great for back to school and includes both print and digital versions. Students answer questions about themselves with numbers (example: how old are you, what year were you born, how many people are in your family, etc.) and then come up with math problems for each answer. They write their equations on sticky notes and place them over the answer (or type, drag and drop in the digital version.) Classmates then have a chance to solve the equations to learn more about each other (lifting the sticky notes to check their answers). This activity can be used for many grade levels.

This resource includes:

  • Tips for teachers for both versions
  • A force copy link to the Google Slides digital version of this project
  • Student directions
  • The blank "Figure Me Out" poster
  • Examples (both print and digital)
  • A scoring rubric

The printable poster is designed to be printed on 11 by 17 inch "ledger" paper. Check the preview file for a sneak peak!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = __ ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?.
Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
