In Math, we have been thinking about many different ways to represent multiplication. We worked with a partner to write a story problem that uses multiplication. Here are some of the problems that we wrote:
1. Bob, his brother Bobby and his friend Max each got 18 Christmas presents from their parents. How many presents did they get all together? – Jeesu and Matthew
2. One day there were 4 children playing Lego. Each one had 4 Lego ships. How many ships were there in all? – Alan and Axel
3. James has 3 crates. Each crate has 5 chocolate bars. How many chocolate bars are there all together? – Lizzie and Megan
4. Max told his mom to buy 3 Bakugans. His mom bought Max 12 times the amount he wanted. How many does he now have? - Jimy and Gordon
5. Mrs. Jansen, Mrs. LaVoie and Mrs. Van Campen went to a toy store and bought 3 packets of silly bands each. One packet has 5 silly bands in it. How many silly bands do they have all together? - Nina and Stacey
6. It is Bobby’s birthday. There are 17 people in his family and each of them gave him 9 presents. How many presents did he get all together? - Maxim and Svea
7. Bob and Bobby have 26 toys. They then get four times the amount that they had. How many do they have now? - Alastair and Sebastian
8. Axelle and Ilinca each had 4 brothers. Each brother has 8 friends. How many friends are there all together? - Ilinca and Axelle
9. There are 8 trees. On each tree there are 7 birds. How many birds are there all together? – Cecily and Julia
10. In the I-Garden, there were 14 sunflowers. On each sunflower, there were 3 bees. How many bees are there all together? – Aoi and Chiho
11. Kika had 4 cakes. Bob had 4 times more cakes than Kika. How many cakes does Bob have? – Finn and Brandon
Home/School Connection: Solve these multiplication problems. Please leave a comment explaining how you solved them.
We used Bob and Bobby a lot! (like me!)

Who exactly are Bob and Bobby, anyway? As long as they help us multiply, they're okay in my book.

Problem number 7 from alinca and Axelle the is 32 from Gordon
ReplyDeleteProblem #3 from Megan & Elizabeth
ReplyDelete3x5=15
Cecily:)
If Bob and Bobby had 26 toys each and got 4 times the amount of that they have 104 toys.I figured it out by doing 26+26=52 and 52+52=104

I solved the proplem bob his brother bobby and his frend max each got 18 chistmas present from thier parents how many presents did they get at all? I did 2x18=36+1x18=54
ReplyDeleteaxelle
i think the 12 6 8 are quite hard
ReplyDeletefinnnnny
i think chiho and aois problom was very creative i found out that the ansewer was 32 and i figured that out by doing 3 times 14
ReplyDeletefinn
I think all of are problems were creative but i think we went a bit over the top with the Bob and Bobby things! Next time i will try to be more on task and not be so silly like we were the last time :)!
ReplyDeleteAlastair
jesu and matthews problem adds up to 56 I think and alan and axels problem adds up to 16 I think and my problem adds up to 15 and jimy and gordens problem adds up to 36 and nina and stacys problem adds up to 15 and maxim and sveas adds up to 153 that all i got time for
ReplyDeletemegan
I think Finn and Brandon's question is nice and creative!!
ReplyDeleteChiho,Aoi
I really like to write story problems because it is really interesting to think about math and story at one time!!!
ReplyDeleteStacey:-)
Our story problems are the best!:)
ReplyDeleteJeesu
1.
ReplyDelete3x18=34
They have 34 christmas presents all together!
Jeesu
Is Bob and Bobby famous? And stop bobbing!(joke)
