For my math story, I placed it under Domain 3C for engaging students in learning through instruction. A math story is a different way for students to practice math skills and learn in a new way. It could be used with the whole class or individually. My specific story is made for whole group instruction. One way I try to engage students is through the use of students hearing a relatable story that includes math. The story involves a mother buying party supplies for her daughter's birthday. The prices of the products are items they have seen in the grocery store or pictures in books. Students have some knowledge of how cash works after learning about it in past years. The students have to solve a problem with multiple digits and then find the total sum. Another way I engage students is I leave a page open for the class to solve the problem on. The page will be a whiteboard and students can write out their problem and look back at it as a group. Students can refer back to their work and erase it easily to do on their own.
The specific pdesas standard that relates to my story is CC.2.2.2.A.1 - Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction within 100. When adding with multi-digit numbers, the story goes into adding real prices for products in a grocery store. The end sum does go over 100 by a few digits. Students are to use reasoning strategies while reading the story to find out what the main character did wrong when adding the prices together. Students can use reasoning strategies where they either have to add on or subtract to get to their total. Students also need to find mistakes made and that can only be done if students can add on or subtract a certain amount of digits.
