Please reflect upon the daily activities of a career you are interested in. As you reflect on those activities, look for examples that use one of our two recent units of study; Ratios or Order Of Operations. You may concentrate on only Ratios or Order Of Operations. Your goal is to create a story in which your "normal day" in your career field ended in a horribly sequence of events because of errors someone made mathematically (either with ratios or order of operations).
Simply stating something bad happened because someone messed up with math will not be accepted. The reader needs to witness the mistake happening and feel how the consequences of the errors made have on the characters in your scenario.
Reply to this post with your story (remember to use your nickname after your post). As you read posts from your peers, offer praise for things you like and constructive suggestions they may consider to improve their story. Your feedback should concentrate on the mathematical thinking and consequences of the errors, but you may briefly touch upon the writing style, tone, characters or scenario if you wish.
