Write Your Own Combining Story

Much like yesterday we worked on addition combining stories using the "Stay or Go" format. Those who needed support worked with me on the rug; those who were ready to work independently worked at their table spots.  For the independent workers, I have a row of sheets set up along a shelf to move through, but of course, some speed demons do finish all of these.  To solve that problem, I added an open-ended worksheet at the end of the row on which students write and solve their own story problem.  They can repeat this sheet with infinite variations and keep busy until the end of the period.
