5 Math Story Starters

Since November is NaNoWriMo, we are trying to squeeze writing in across the subjects.  Last week it was journal entries, and this week we are going to use fiction to get our facts straight.  

5 Math Story Starters:

1.  Charlie knew no one would believe him.  He wasn't sure that what just happened had actually happened.  The only proof he had was the note written in code.  He had to crack that code!

2.  Amber jolted to her feet.  She had made a terrible mistake-a disastrous miscalculation!

3.  Detective Matthews was baffled.  There had to be a pattern.  There is always a pattern.

4.  Thomas couldn't seem to get the ratio right.  He was certain about the amount of each ingredient except one.

5.  Dr. Randall plugged his numbers into the formula.  "But this cannot be," he exclaimed, "it's simply not possible!"
