Content Areas

1. Visual Art
2. Literacy
3. Mathematics

Key Concepts
1. Visual Art: Representing scenes to add detail and visual
support to the story
2. Literacy: Story development and proper word problem
phrasing
3. Math: Multiplication factors and visual ways to represent
number grouping

Essential Questions
How can you develop a story problem that can be represented in visual way, while
using the multiplication factors?

Lesson Objectives/Goals
1. Visual Art: The students will be able to accurately represent their story problem
and math problem clearly using their own creative genius.
2. Literacy: The students will be able to develop a story with important information
that is pertinent to the problem and develops into a question to solve.
3. Math: The students will be able to create, and solve a multiplication factor word
problem with accuracy and multiple means of representation.

Opening
In the beginning of the lesson I will ask the students if
they know what a comic book looks like, and ask
them some of their favorite ones that they have read.
Once they are interested, I will get them excited by
telling them that we are going to make out own
comics. I will then bring up examples on the Smart
Board, or pass them around if I do not have access to
a Smart Board. This will get them kids excited about
creating a comic strip, based off of comics that they
already know and love.

Summative Assessment

I will grade the comic for correct Math


strategies, and effort put into the project.
