One day, Daniel bought 8 cookies. That day, he lost a few. The next day, he bought 6 and lost the same amount as he lost on the previous day. The next day, he lost the cookies that he was left with on the first day. In the end, Daniel was left with one cookie. How many cookies did he lose on each of the first and second days?
This story fits the equation and it's quite functional but it would be better if they labeled the dates. The story makes sense, but the dates made the story a little confusing (first day, previous day, etc.). Overall, there idea was quite creative but it would be better if they thought of a creative way to lose the cookies.
This story fits the equation perfectly, and it does make sense, but a s Sebin and Jun said, you guys can labeled the dates (like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.). When I read this story I wondered why Daniel is losing money everyday. I think you can write it like"Monday, Daniel bought 8 cookies and ate some of them. On Tuesday, he bought another six, and ate the same amount of cookies. On Wednesday, he ate up all cookies he bought on Monday. At that time, there is only one cookie left. " This will make the story more creative (at least not so boring) and a little more complicated (You have to think about what is the amount of cookies he bought on Monday).

The story fits with the equation, and is functional. I would actually write this story for this equation. It makes sense, and by reading the word problem, I can easily write the equation. There aren't any grammatical mistakes. I think it was quite creative, but they could have been more creative by using something other than cookies, because they are used in word problems all the time. Overall, it is very organized and easy to understand, but you might be able to use some more creativity.
