Topic: Solving Word Problems With Subtraction
Brief Description: Students will better understand addition and subtraction by solving and creating multistep word problems.
Know Before You Start: Students should have an understanding of how addition and subtraction are used in daily life. Have a list of subtraction problems that students can choose from to create their comic.

Activity:

Assign students a subtraction problem and have them create a comic to demonstrate their understanding.

As shown in the sample, the comic should depict a real-life subtraction problem.
