Introducing application problems to my elementary algebra class today... I tried my own 3 act problem. I think that it turned out alright.

The students came up with LOTS of questions. Then figured out how to answer most of them. When I have more time I will post the questions and some of the answers.
It was a good intro to the application problems, which overall are not nearly as much fun as 3 act problems.
How can I make all of the application problems more fun?
