An old bit from Sesame Street.
As multimedia becomes more prevalent in classrooms, this is a great video to share with classes of all grade levels. Besides the entertainment value, you can use this as a springboard for additional exercises:
- Can students write an expression to model all the man is saying?
- If the price of an apple is ____, how much will the man end up paying?
- Can the students solve a collection of narrative problems similar to the man’s story?
- Can students create a comparable story and act it out for their classmates?
