Conditional Statement Story



Conditional Statement StoryIf you give a geometry student a project… The purpose of this project is for you to see how “if-then” reasoning (also known as cause and effect) is used in our everyday lives. You will write a story along the lines of the children’s book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff. Your story should be written using “if-then” statements (the “then” statement of one sentence should be the “if” statement of the next sentence). The story must make sense. The opening hypothesis and the last conclusion must fit together to make a sentence (which makes sense). Your story must be made into a book with illustrations. You may draw pictures, or cut out of magazines, or use pictures from the internet. There should be one statement with illustration per page, and at least 8 “if- then” statements. Be creative!!
