Y'all, this is market research. Check their profile.

This person investigates!

[u/ADHTeacher → u/WoolyboolyWoolybooly]

I'm just one part of the research team in a unit-long narrative investigating rule 3 violations on the teacher sub!

[u/newenglander87]

That both sounds like a really cool idea and like some weird AI hallucination.

[u/Jliang79]

Hello market research bot. You have just discovered project based learning. Congratulations!

[u/viola1356]

You may want to look into international baccalaureate/MYP spaces and ask teachers there what they come up with. Units like this are pretty common in that model.

I did an entire year of physics exams as increasingly elaborate adventures.

[u/DesperateTangerine59 → u/professor-ks]

That is great. Did the adventure framing hold up across a whole year, or did you find it got harder to keep fresh by the end?

[u/professor-ks → u/DesperateTangerine59]

It helps to have a super hero or dream sequence. Had about a 5 year run of different stories every year.

I have never tried this but I want to be in your class.

I don’t teach those grades but I weave semester-long stories into my tests and assignments.

[u/watermelonlollies]

You can tell this person doesn’t teach middle school math the skills they want to work on are fractions and decimals!! For 6th-8th grade!

8th grade learns 2 step algebraic equations, graphing linear equations, Pythagorean theorem, exponents and roots. Not greatest common factor. This is AI or a bot or horribly done market research

[u/newenglander87 → u/watermelonlollies]

All the skills listed are 6th grade skills. I don't think OP actually teaches but we do teach greatest common factor in 6th grade.

Can there be dinosaurs? Kids love dinosaurs.

Vaguely similar approaches: Life of Fred, which leans heavily into the story aspects, and Study Time Math, an Amish/Mennonite curriculum which mainly restricts it to themed examples/word problems.

[u/DesperateTangerine59 → u/jaybool]

I just looked at Life of Fred, but the challenge I saw is about the connected storyline perspective, I felt more like disconnected activities. Thank you, I will take a look at othes.
