Petelo Portfolio 2013 LEVEL 2 MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION

Show how you work out these problems.

1.  A gardener planted 7 rows of cabbages.  Each row has 5 cabbages.  How many cabbages did plant altogether?

7 x 5 = 35 -  Petelo, you really need to learn your basic fact multiplication and division .

THERE WILL BE 35 IN EACH -  check your answer .

2.  I have 5 bags of lollies.  Each bag has 10 lollies.  How many lollies do I have?

5 x 10 = 50

THERE WILL BE 50 IN EACH  -  Yes!  this should really be easy enough.

3.   I have 24 pencils to put into 4 pencil cases.  How many pencils in each case?

24 divided by 6 = 4 -  Petelo, read the question again.  How many pencil cases.

THERE WILL BE 6 IN EACH

4.  There are 30 apples to put into 3 boxes.  How many apples will be in each box?

3 X 10 = 30  -  How did you know?

Because it says 30 apples in 3 boxes it divided the 30 into three tens. So I timed the 3 in 10 equals 30 and my answer is 30

THERE WILL BE 10 IN EACH
