Adding Up Some Shakespeare Facts

This Adding Up Some Shakespeare Facts resource is a cross curricular way to have students practice the Commutative Property of Addition and also to review facts about Shakespeare.

Students will find in this Adding Up Some Shakespeare Facts a total of 19 math problems. The solution to each of the problems is the answer to each fact presented about Shakespeare and this will help find the clue for each line presented.

Once they find each of the words, this will allow students to find the mystery quote.

An example of the problems included are:

-A = 5 1/4 +16 +4 3/4 = William Shakespeare was baptized in April ?

Students are to solve the math problem, and this will provide the date = 26

The answer is equal to the letter of the alphabet before the problem = A

Then, to begin to find the mystery quote, students are to place the letter A above every line where the number 26 is placed.
