4. Activities: After going through the presentation with the teacher and reading the story choose a character for your algebra story. You will be creating your own fraction story using voki.com. Due to the word count limitations in each voki, you may need to do a few vokis for you story to complete it. you can call them: voki1, voki 2 and so on. You may include the following : 1- story about algebra (voki 1) 2- the new maths words and the meaning (voki 2) 3- the solution for your word problem (voki 3) Be creative You will be judged on the story, the choice of the character and your creativity.

6. Once there was a fruit shop in an old town. The shop was unusual because every fruit was given a letter, usually the first letter of the name.

7. Oranges were given the letter o, Apples were given the letter a, Pears were given the letter p, Bananas were given the letter b and so on. Oranges were given the letter o, Apples were given the letter a, Pears were given the letter p, Bananas were given the letter b and so on.

9. He bought a (apples), b (bananas),o (oranges) and p (Pears). When he got home he found that he should get 3 less than a, 4 more than b and double p. When Jonathan opened the fridge to put the 3 apples he bought, he found 2 times as many apples as he bought. He bought a (apples), b (bananas),o (oranges) and p (Pears). When he got home he found that he should get 3 less than a, 4 more than b and double p. When Jonathan opened the fridge to put the 3 apples he bought, he found 2 times as many apples as he bought.

10. 1- Read the story. 2- How many algebraic expressions can you find? 3- Write them down. 1- Read the story. 2- How many algebraic expressions can you find? 3- Write them down.

11. 1) a-3 When he got home he found that he should get 3 less than a, 4 more than b and double p. 2) b+4 3) 2p When he opened the fridge to put the 3 apples he bought, he found 2 times as many apples as he bought. 4) 2x 3a= 6a
