Sondra draws a repeating shape pattern: circle, triangle, square, circle, triangle, square, ... Which shape will be in the 10th spot?
Circle
A classroom has 24 students. They sit in groups of 4 at tables. The teacher wants to add 3 more students and still have equal group sizes. How many tables are needed after adding students if each table still seats 4?
After adding 3 students: 24+3=27 tables needed: 27÷4=6 R 3 so 7 tables if each must seat exactly 4
Multiply: 9x9=
81
Division with remainder: A group of 23 students, 3 teachers, and 2 parents go on a canoe trip. Each canoe holds 3 people. How many canoes are needed?
Total people: 23+3+2=28. Canoes: 28÷3=9 R 12 8÷3=9 R 1 so they need 10 canoes
Common factors/multiples: What do all the numbers 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 have in common?
All multiples of 6
Which statement describes a pattern where a square appears every third spot?
A: The thirtieth spot will have a square.
B: The twenty‑first spot will have a square.
C: The square only appears in even‑numbered spots.
D: The circle appears in both odd and even‑numbered spots.
B: The twenty‑first spot will have a square.
A teacher has 50 markers. She wants to put them into boxes of 6. After filling boxes, she gives each table the same number of full boxes. If there are 5 tables, how many boxes does each table get, and how many markers are left over? Show work.
50÷6=8 R 2 → 88 boxes full, 22 markers left. Each of 55 tables gets 8÷5=1 R 3 boxes; so each gets 1 full box and 3 extra full boxes distributed

Multiplication & addition: Sharon makes 27 invitations. That is 3 times as many as Dani makes. How many invitations does Dani make? Then, if they both sign their names on each invitation (one signature per person), how many total signatures will there be?
Dani: 27÷3=9 invitations. Total signatures if both sign each: 27+9=36 signatures.
True/False with reasoning: True or False — 20 is 4 times as many as 55.
True — 20=4×5 so “20 is 4 times as many as 5” is true.
Give a numeric pattern rule that makes the sequence: 2, 6, 18, 54,… Then write the next number.
54×3=162. multiply by 3 each step
Melanie arranges 96 chairs. She wants rows with 8 chairs each. After placing those rows, she decides to reserve 12 chairs for guests at the front. How many rows of 8 does she make, and how many chairs remain for the reserve after forming the rows?

Multi-step real world: Melanie has 96 chairs to arrange into rows with equal chairs per row. List three different arrangements (number of rows × chairs per row) that use all 96 chairs. Choose one arrangement and explain why it might not make sense in a small classroom.
Factor pairs of 96 (examples):
1×96, 2×48, 3×32, 4×24, 6×16, 8×12
Challenge: List all the factor pairs of 96. (This helps Melanie find all the arrangements of chairs.)
Draw a repeating pattern of 4 shapes that will make a square appear in both the 55th and the 99th positions.
Circle, Square, Triangle, Hexagon
The pattern (Circle, Square, Triangle, Hexagon) places a square as the third shape, which meets the requirements for both the 55th and 99th positions
Melanie is setting up chairs for the Student Jazz Concert. Find at least six different ways to arrange 96 chairs into equal rows.
example: 2x48
1×96, 2×48, 3×32, 4×24, 6×16, 8×12
