400

Solve: 125 + 89
👉 Break each number into easier numbers before solving 

125 + 89

120 + 80 = 200

5 + 9 = 14

200 + 14 = 214

A student says:
“48 ÷ 6 is the same as 48 ÷ 3 ÷ 2, so the answer is 8.”

👉 Do you agree or disagree?
👉 Explain your thinking using numbers, words, or a model.

Agree—the statement is correct.

Explanation (what you’re looking for):

  • 48 ÷ 6 = 8
  • Breaking 6 into 3 × 2:
    • 48 ÷ 3 = 16
    • 16 ÷ 2 = 8
  • This works because dividing by 6 is the same as dividing by 3 and then by 2

A farmer packs 96 apples into boxes. Each box holds 8 apples.
👉 Solve this using two different strategies.

  • Division: 96 ÷ 8 = 12
  • Repeated subtraction: 96 − 8 − 8 − …
  • Multiplication (fact family): 8 × 12 = 96
  • Break apart: (80 ÷ 8) + (16 ÷ 8) = 10 + 2
