How many in all? How many altogether? Mr. Jones drove 5 miles on Monday, 3 miles on Tuesday, and 2 miles on Wednesday. How many total miles did Mr. Jones drive? How many miles did he drive in all? 5 + 3 + 2 = _______ - - - SUBTRACTION - - - : - - - SUBTRACTION - - - KEY WORDS & CONCEPTS for SUBTRACTION: Difference ? How many are left? More than ? How many remain? How many more? ? What is the difference? Amy had 10 cupcakes, and she ate 2 cupcakes. How many cupcakes were left? How many cupcakes remain? 10 – 2 = ________ John has 15 cupcakes, and Sandy has 12. What is the difference in their number of cupcakes? How many more cupcakes did John have than Sandy? 15 – 12 = ________ * * * MULTIPLICATION x x x : * * * MULTIPLICATION x x x KEY WORDS & CONCEPTS for MULTIPLICATION: The problem tells you “each,” and you solve for “total.” Apples sell for $2 each. How much will 3 apples cost? 3 x 2 = ____ Each chinchilla weighs 1.5 pounds. If you buy 2 chinchillas, how many [total] pounds of chinchillas will you have? 2 x 1.5 = _______ Admission to the museum is $5 per student. If there are 33 students in the class, what is the cost for all students? 33 x 5 = _______ (“per” means “each”) MULTIPLICATION page 2 : MULTIPLICATION page 2 KEY WORDS & CONCEPTS: Solve for “times” Relate smaller to bigger An ant can lift 5 times as much weight as a fly. If a fly can lift 2 ounces, how many ounces can an ant lift? 5 x 2 = _____ Relate smaller to bigger: If there are 12 inches in 1 foot, then how many inches are in 3 feet? 1 foot x ? = 3 feet 1 foot x 3 = 3 feet therefore, 12 inches x 3 = ____ inches ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ DIVISION / / / / : ÷ ÷ ÷ ÷ DIVISION / / / / KEY WORDS & CONCEPTS in DIVISION: The problem tells you “total,” and you solve for “each.” Relate bigger to smaller The principal visited 4 classrooms that had an equal number of students in each classroom If she visited [a total of] 120 students, how many students were in each classroom? 120 / 4 or 120 ÷ 4 = ________ Relate bigger to smaller: If there are 36 eggs in 3 dozen, how many eggs are in 1 dozen? 3 dozen ÷ ? = 1 dozen 3 dozen ÷ 3 = 1 dozen therefore, 36 eggs ÷ 3 = ____ eggs Every Word Problem has 2 Parts : Every Word Problem has 2 Parts First, it gives you information. Two boys have 14 DVDs to share equally… Three girls collected 36 stickers and gave away 10… Second, it asks you a question. How many DVDs does each boy get? How many stickers did the girls have left? A man drove four miles in the morning, three in the afternoon… In all, how many miles did he drive? A woman gave each of her three children 4 cookies… How many cookies did she give to all of her children? SOME INFORMATION A QUESTION How many times have you been bitten trying to make sense of the TWO PARTS?! : How many times have you been bitten trying to make sense of the TWO PARTS?! Let’s take the bite out of the beast! How to take the BITE out of the BEAST:FIRST identify the key words & concept, NEXT the math operation and LAST the equation : How to take the BITE out of the BEAST:FIRST identify the key words & concept, NEXT the math operation and LAST the equation For example, A jar of jelly beans holds 250 beans. How many beans are there in two jars? Key words & concept are: Math operation is: Equation is: If there are 5,280 feet in one mile, how many feet does a runner run in 12 miles? Key words & concept are: Math operation is: Equation is: Key words: 1 jar = 250 beans, 2 jars = ? Beans Concept: relate smaller to bigger; 1 jar to 2 jars Math operation: multiplication Equation: 250 x 2 = Key words: 5,280 = 1; how many in 12? Concept: relate smaller to bigger; 1 mile to 12 miles Operation: multiplication Equation: 5,280 x 12 = Identify the Key Words & Concept, the Math Operation,and the Equation : Identify the Key Words & Concept, the Math Operation,and the Equation A car made five laps around a two-mile racetrack. How many miles did the car go? Key words and concept are: Math operation is: Equation is: Key words: 5 laps, 2 miles, “around,” how many [total] miles? Concept: “around” means “times” (the car completed the racetrack 5 times) Operation: multiplication Equation: 5 x 2 = Identify the Key Words & Concept, the Math Operation,and the Equation : Identify the Key Words & Concept, the Math Operation,and the Equation A Girl Scout sold 4 boxes of cookies on Monday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, she sold 3 boxes each day. How many boxes of cookies did she sell in all?
