What children learn in Level 42
- Story problems with equal groups use multiplication or division. Picture the groups first!
- 10 teams of 8 students signed up for volleyball. One team dropped out. How many students will play? 9 teams are left: 9 × 8 is 72.
- Or find 10 × 8, which is 80, and take away the 8 who left: 72. Two ways, same answer!
- Two-step problems need two steps. Tickets are $11 each. 2 tickets and a $7 popcorn: 2 × 11 is 22, plus 7 is 29 dollars.
