(average month = 30 days)
Write an equation with a variable and solve.
30 x 8 = m
3 x 10 x 8 = m
3 x 8 = 24
24 x 10 = 240

Solve 3 x 4. Write two multiplication and two division problems that relate.
3 x 4 = 12
4 x 3 = 12
12 ÷ 3 = 4
12 ÷ 4 = 3

Solve 13 x 3. Show or explain how you can use 12 x 3 = 36 to help you, then solve.
13 x 3 is one more group of 3 than 12 x 3, so if 12 x 3 = 36, 13 x 3 will be 36 + 3.
13 x 3 = 39

Write a situation (including a question!) for 60 ÷ 5 = n, then solve.
There are 60 people at a party. There are five tables. How many people sit at each table?
5 x 12 = 60, so 12 people are at each table.

Part 1: There are 340 cats and dogs that need to find their forever homes. 298 are adopted at an event. The rest are taken to foster homes where they can be cared for until they are adopted. There are 6 animals at each home. Explain why the animals cannot fit at 6 homes. Show your work.
340 - 298 = 42
6 x 6 = 36, so there are still 6 animals that need a home.

There are 24 cats in a cat cafe. There are 6 cats in each room. How many rooms are there? Select all equations that match the problem.
a. 24 x 6 = n
b. 24 ÷ 6 = n
c. 6 x n = 24
d. 24 ÷ n = 6
e. 6 ÷ n = 24
b., c., and d.

Solve 48 ÷ 2. Show your work
2 x n = 48
2 x 10 = 20
2 x 10 = 20
2 x 4 = 8
10 + 10 + 4 = 24

Part 2: There are 340 cats and dogs that need to find their forever homes. 298 are adopted at an event. The rest are taken to foster homes where they can be cared for until they are adopted. The same number of animals are at each home. If there are 14 homes, how many animals are at each home? Show your work.
340 - 298 = 42
42 ÷ 14 = a. 14 x a = 42
14, 28, 42
There are 3 animals at each home.

Why can we use multiplication to divide? Explain and be specific.
Multiplication and division are related. For example,
5 x 10 = 50 is related to 50 ÷ 5 = 10
The factors 5 and 10 become the divisor and quotient
The dividend and product are both 50
