1-Step
Write an equation with a letter for the unknown: "Sasha has 12 apples. She gives 5 apples to a friend. How many apples does she have now?"
12 - 5 = a
a = 7
Write one equation with a letter: "Liam bought 3 packs of pencils. Each pack has 4 pencils. He gives away 2 pencils. How many pencils does he have left?"
p = 10
Multiply: "4 × 12." Show the equation that uses the distributive property (break 12 into 10 + 2).
Identify: "This shape has 4 congruent sides and 4 right angles. Name it."
Square
Write: "Write the fraction for 1 whole and 1 half." (Use fraction greater than 1.)
Write an equation: "A toy costs $14. Ben pays with $20. How much change does he get?"
20 - 14 = t
t = 6
Write an equation: "Maya had 20 stickers. She bought 2 more packs of 8 stickers each. Then she gave 5 stickers to a friend. How many stickers now?"
20 + (2 x 8) - 5 = s
s = 31
Multiply: "3 × 14." Use distributive property to write an equation and find the product.
(3 x 10) + (3 x 4) = 42
Identify: "This quadrilateral has 4 sides, opposite sides parallel, and opposite sides equal — but not all sides equal. Name it."
Rectangle
Add the following fractions together and write two possible answers: 5/6 + 3/6
8/6 or 1 2/6 or 1 1/3
Write an equation: "There are 48 books on a shelf. 23 are fiction and the rest are nonfiction. How many nonfiction books are there?"
b + 23 = 48
b = 25
Write an equation: "A farmer has 5 rows of tomato plants with 7 plants in each row. Then, his neighbor gifts him 16 more plants. How many tomatoes plants does the farmer have now?"
(5 x 7) + 16 = p
p = 51
Multiply: "6 × 23." Write an equation showing distributive property (23 = 20 + 3) and find the product.
(6 x 20) + (6 x 3) = 138
(6 x 10) + (6 x 10) + (6 x 3) = 138
Describe: "Name a quadrilateral that has 4 equal sides but does not have right angles."
Rhombus
Add the following fractions together and write two possible answers: 1 1/2 + 2 1/2 + 3 3/4
6 3/4 = 18/4 = 9/2
Write an equation: "A baker made 36 cupcakes. She puts them into boxes of 6. How many boxes did she fill?"
36 divided by 6 = c
c = 6
Write an equation: "A class collected 100 cans for a food drive. Later they collected 3 times as many. On Friday, they donated 60 cans. How many cans do they still need to donate?"
(100 x 3) - 60 = c
c = 240
Multiply: "7 × 19." Use distributive property (19 = 20 − 1 or 10+9) to write an equation and solve.
(7 x 10) + (7 x 9) = 133
(7 x 20) - (7 x 1) = 133
Classify: "Which shapes below are quadrilaterals? (triangle, square, rectangle, circle, rhombus)" — List the quadrilaterals and explain one shared attribute.
Square, Rectangle, Rhombus
All have two sets of parallel sides
Which is the greater fraction 6/3 or 6/4? Why?
6/3 is greater. The dominator is smaller, therefore each piece is larger because you are sharing with less people.
Write an equation: "A farmer had some eggs. He collected 18 more to have 54 eggs total. How many eggs did he start with?"
e + 18 = 54
e = 36
Write an equation: "A shelf holds 4 boxes. Each box has 9 crayons. A teacher buys 2 more boxes and then gives 18 crayons to students. How many crayons are left?"
(4 x 9) + (4 x 2) - 18 = c
c = 26
Multiply and explain: "8 × 27." Write an equation that uses the distributive property breaking 27 into 20 + 7, then compute the product.
(8 x 20) + (8 x 7) = 216
(8 x 10) + (8 x 10) + (8 x 7) = 216
Describe quadrilateral that is not a rectangle, square, or rhombus. List two attributes it has (side count, parallel sides, equal angles, etc.)."
Trapezoid
1 set of parallel sides
Four sides
All straight lines
Add the following fractions together and write two possible answers: 1 1/2 + 2 1/2 + 2 2/4
6 1/2 = 13/2 = 26/4
