If it is 8:50 in the morning, and it takes me 15 minutes to get to school. What time will I get to school if I leave right away?
Well, I know that there are 60 minutes in one hour. So I would first add my minutes together:
50 + 15 = 65.
I know that this is worth at least one hour. So now it is 9 oclock with extra minutes left.
65-60 = 5
So it is 9:05

A bakery sold 847 cupcakes on Monday and 564 cupcakes on Tuesday. Estimate how many cupcakes the bakery made on both days, using compatible numbers.
Round 847 to a compatible number near 850 (since 850 is easy to work with).
Round 564 to a compatible number near 550 (since 550 is also easy to work with).
850 + 550=1,400 total amount of cupcakes.
A bakery bakes 18 loaves of bread in the morning and 24 loaves in the afternoon. In the evening, they bake 18 more loaves. If they package the loaves into boxes of 6, how many boxes will they need?
1. Add: 18 + 24 = 42 loaves of bread
2. Add: 42 + 18 = 60
4. Multiply: 6 x y = 60
y = 10
So, they can package the loaves in 10 boxes.
Amara has 84 marbles. She distributes the same number of marbles onto 7 trays. Then, Amara's friend adds 4 more marbles to each tray. How many marbles are on each tray now?
1. 84 divided by 7 to find out how many marbles per tray. 84÷7 = 12

26 + 9 = 35
2. Find the number of books in each set
35÷5 = 7
So Chloe's sets each had 7 books.
When you are solving for area, what is special about the units?
For example: If you are finding the area of the rug in feet, the rug would be: e ___ feet long
Square feet
Alema has 52 stamps. He puts 25 stamps on envelopes to mail. How many stamps does he have left? Use a number line to represent and solve
52-25 = 27
Number line should start at 25 (or 0) and take 27 hops until it got to 52.
A farmer plants 37 apple trees in one orchard and 45 in another orchard. Later, they plant 28 more trees in a smaller orchard. If they arrange the trees into rows of 11, how many rows will they have?
Mr. Missett is organizing a book fair over 6 days. He rents a booth for $25 a day, plus a one-time setup fee of $15. How much does it cost Mr. Missett to rent the booth for the entire book fair?
1. calculate the total daily cost:
6 x 25 = 150
- use repeated addition, or distributive property (6 x 20, and 6 x 5, and add them together)
2. Add the one-time set up fee:
150 + 15 = 165
Rory has a 21-inch-long ribbon. He divides the ribbon into 3 equal parts. Then, he trims one of the pieces, leaving it 3 inches long. How much ribbon did Rory cut from that piece?
1. Find the length of each piece after separating into 3 pieces:
21÷3=7
2. Determine how much was cut:
7 - 3 = 4
So, 4 inches were cut from the piece of ribbon.
Mrs. Favereau is making a flower garden that is 8 feet long, and 2 feet wide.
What is the area of her garden?
8 x 2 = 16.
The area is 16 square feet.
Make a bar model to represent and solve this word problem:
There are 528 apples in the orchard. There are 342 apples on the north side of the orchard, and the rest are on the south side. How many apples are on the south side of the orchard?
The bar model should have the full amount as 528. There should be one side representing the north side of 342 apples, and the remaining side is unknown. The remaining side should be 186.
A bakery made 50 cookies in the morning and 38 cookies in the afternoon. Each box holds 12 cookies. How many boxes can the bakery fill completely, and how many cookies will be left over?
1. Add: 50 + 38 = 88 cookies
2. y x 12 = 88 cookies
7 X 12 = 84 cookies
88-84 cookies: 4 cookies left over and the bakery can fill 7 boxes.
Mrs. Favereau bought 3 boxes of apples. Each box contains 6 bags. If he gives away 5 bags, how many bags does Mrs. Favereau have left?
1. calculate the total number of bags:
3 x 6 = 18
2. subtract the number of bags given away = 18 - 5 = 13
A photographer is taking a picture of the 41 members of the school band. There are 5 rows with 7 members in each row. How many members are not in rows?
Use a bar model to show (hint you will have 2 bar models, one with division/multiplication, and one with addition/subtraction)
The bar model should be:
1. A bar model with 5 blocks, 7 in each block
5 x 7 = 35
2.The second bar model should have 35 people in a block, and an empty block. The total number should be written as 41.
After solving, the extra block should be 6.
How do you find the perimeter of a shape?
For example, if there is a rectangle that is 5 feet long and 3 feet tall, how would I find the perimeter?
You count up all of the sides and add them together.
5 + 5 (remember rectangle lengths are the same amount) = 10
and
3 + 3 (remember, the rectangle height will also be the same amount) = 6
So our perimeter will be how long the sides are all together, 6 + 10 = 16.
