RAMMP Strategy
RAMMP (Role-Audience-Medium-Math Problem) is a numeracy instructional strategy created by the National FFA Organization. Students assume a role, identify an audience, choose a communication medium, and solve a math problem to see the relevance of math operations in real-life agricultural communication situations such as billing, cost of goods, or business planning. The resource includes a description, an example problem with answer, and blank RAMMP worksheets.

- Description
- RAMMP is an acronym for Role-Audience-Medium-Math Problem. Students are told the role they will assume, the audience to whom they are writing, the medium of communication they are to use, and the math problem they are to discuss. A RAMMP helps students see the relevance of math operations in communicating with individuals in real-life situations.
- Example Activities
- This strategy can be used with any math problem encountered in an agriculture setting, but is ideally suited for teaching students to communicate with customers about billing, cost of goods or in creating a business plan.
