There are 5 teams of basketball players. We do not know how many players are in each team. However, 2 teams each put 1 more player because in case some players will get hurt. Eventually, the 5 teams took both of the teams out because they were bad but kept the 2 players that were added later on. This amount equals to the amount of players per team added by extra 8 more players. Find out how many people are in each team originally.
We think it was a good word problem but it was a little bit confusing. Maybe a little creativity might be helpful. Other than that we think it is a very solid and good explanation for the equation.
1.The story is functional and it is easy to understand. I would write this equation from the word story problem because I can set up the equation not really hard.
2.The story is clear and the setting up the equation on the both sides are not that hard to set up.
3.There are no grammatical mistakes.
4.The story seems more creative than our story because ours is kind of dull but this story has more words and more clues to help out.
5.Positive things about the word problem is that it was clear and not as hard and confusing as our word problems.
1)Yes, this story fits the equation and it is very functional. This question totally fits this equation Also when I read this and tried to write this equation, it was right.
2) It makes perfect sense, and it is very clear. However, if there was a place where it could have been better, I think making the part “Eventually, the 5 teams took both of the teams out because they were bad but kept the 2 players that were added later on.” more clear would make this question perfect. I would first exclude the part where they said that the 2 teams added 1 more players, and just say that the 2 teams were taken out except the one ace in each teams.
3) In the question there is part “player because in case”, it is not totally wrong but it would be better taking out the because. “were added later on” I think you don’t really need later on.
It it pretty creative thinking, they had connected the pretty complicated equation into a popular basketball. However, I think it would have been better if there were more specific information to help to write the equation.
5)The positive points are that the word problem is straight forward, and if you just read the text carefully, it will be very unlikely to get wrong in this question.
Revised Version James and Charles decided to trade their food during lunch time. The two friends are trying to make a deal. A slice of pizza is worth 8 more dollars than a lollipop. James said that he will give one slice of pizza for five lollipops. Charles will only make the trade if If James gives 2 more pieces of fried chicken, which is each worth one dollars less than a lollipop to Charles. How much is 1 lollipop worth?
Second revision. Bart and Lisa decided to trade their food during lunch time. The two friends are trying to make a deal. A slice of pizza is worth 8 more dollars than a lollipop. Lisa said that she will give one slice of pizza for 5 lollipops. Bart will only make the trade if Lisa gives 2 more pieces of fried chicken, which is each worth one dollars less than a lollipop to Bart. Now, how much is 1 lollipop worth?
