Solve the expression below mentally:

5 x (13 x 2)

130

The original expression is 5 x (13 x 2)

It's easier if you do (5 x 2) x 13

2 PART ANSWER!!

To find 50 x 14, what factor would you double when using the double and halve strategy? What would the new factor become after it is doubled?

Double the 50 to make 100! Easy peasy!

200

True or False

49 x 16 = (49 x 16) + (1 x 16)

False!

49 x 16 is not the same as (49 x 16) + (1 x 16). You would be adding 16 more.

Solve using the double and halve strategy. Explain/show which factors you doubled or halved. 

18 x 25

18 x 25

Double 25 to 50           Halve 18 to 9

50 x 9= 450

300

Fill in the blank to make both sides of the equation equal.

2 PART ANSWER:

Show the steps to double and halve this expression until one of the factors reaches 100. What is the final answer?

36 x 25

36 x 25=

18 x 50=

9 x 100=900

400

Fill in the blank.

57 x ___ = (57 x 30) - ( 57 x 3)

27

57 x 27= (57 x 30)- (57 x 3)

30-3=27

400

To find 9 times 36, I find 10 x 36 and subtract 1 group of 36

(10x36) - (1 x 36)

or

(10 x 36) - 36

A rectangular prism has a volume of 60 mm3. The height is 5 mm. What is the area of the base?

12 mm2

Remember: Volume also equals Base X Height

60mm3=_____ x 5 mm

Fill in the blank to make the equation true. 


4 x ( ___ x 6)= 12 x 4

2

4 x (2 x 6)= 12 x 4

(Both sides equal 48)

500

Using the double and halve strategy, fill in the blank!

(16 x 12)=(24 x___)

8!

(16 x 12)=(24 x 8)

12 was doubled to get 24, so halve 16 to get 8

500

Fill in the blanks and solve. 

(99 x 497) + (1 x 497) is the same as   ____ x 497 

which = ____

100 and 49,700

(99 x 497) + (1 x 497) is the same as 100 x 497 which = 49,700

500

Solve the expression below:

2 x (6 x 4) + 2 x (3 x 4) + 2 x (6 x 3)


2 x (6 x 4) + 2 x (3 x 4) + 2 x (6 x 3)=

2 x ( 6 x 4)=48

2 x (3 x 4)=24

2 x (6 x 3)=36

48 + 24 + 36= 108
