-      Core content standard questions:

  • Use and interpret multiplicative equations4.OA.1
    • Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal or written statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations. Example: Tom has 7 toy cars; Joe has 5 times as many. How many toy cars does Joe have? Answer: 35, because 7 x 5 = 35 or 5 x 7 = 35. 
  • Story: Farmer Doug is working cattle and giving them vaccinations. He worked 50 cattle today, tomorrow he will work 3 times as many, the following day he will work half of the original amount of cattle. 
    • Question: How many cattle will Farmer Doug have worked at the end of the three days?
    • Work: 50 + (50 x 3) + (50 X ½) 
      • 50 + (150) + (25) = 225
      • Answer: Farmer Doug worked 225 cattle.
