Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. The students will need to reevaluate the tile companies as well as recalculate the total costs to include tile for the bathroom. An additional twist will be that the homeowner has decided to tile his bathroom as well.

Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.In this MEA, students will work in collaborative groups to solve multistep problems with whole numbers and decimals by using different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The various resources listed below are aligned to the same standard, (4OA02) taken from the CCSM (Common Core Standards For Mathematics) as the Word problems Worksheet shown above.
