Example Problem #1
Mary is crazy about books! She has a bookshelf in her room with 7 shelves. Each shelf holds 46 books. How many books does Mary have in her "library" altogether?
Example of Math writing to the above problem:
To solve this problem I knew I needed to multiply because I saw the clue words altogether, each, and how many. Then I multiplied 6 x 7 = 42 then I mulitplied 40 x 7 = 280. Then I knew to add zero to equal 280. Next, I added to 280 + 42 = 322. That is how I got the answer 322. That's how I know Mary has 322 books on her shelf.
40 6
x 7 x 7
____ ____
280 + 42 = 322 books
#2 Your problem:
Sally collected sea shells each morning for a week while she was visiting her grandmother. By the end of the week she had collected 5 buckets of shells. In each bucket she had 42 shells. How many shells does Sally have altogether?
