Math Curse Digital Pictures

At least 5 digital pictures, one per math problem

You may take more than 5 pictures to enhance your story

Each picture should ‘fit’ your storyYou must complete a planning sheet for each

picture so you know what you are doing

Remember the requirements:

You can take pictures at home and on the weekends (good idea so you have time to decorate…the fun part!)

With special permission, you may arrange to take pictures in locations outside the 6th grade hall

Take several pictures from different angles for each picture. That way you can choose the best one when you go to print them.
