3 points: Writes a word problem, writes an equation, and correctly solves the equation.
There are 7104 books in the school library. 4295 are fiction books and 982 are non-fiction books. The rest are reference books. How many reference books are in the school library?
7104 = 4295 + 982 + r
7104 = (5277) + r
7104 – 5277 = 1827
(There are many ways students may choose to write their word problem and many ways they may solve it.)
2 point: Student does two of the tasks needed for three points.
1 point: Student does one of the tasks needed for three points. If an error is made in writing an equation, his/her answer is consistent with the equation.

1 point:
If I round Norfolk’s population it is about 240,000 when I round it to the nearest ten-thousand. If I round Fredricksburg’s population to the nearest thousand it is 24,000. You can easily see that 24,000 x 10 = 240,000 which means Norfolk is about 10 times as big as Fredericksburg.
(Students may round in a number of ways.)
