Thursday: The whole trail

Chris the Coyote gathers everyone by the lantern at Shape Hollow.

"Let me tell the story of our trail," he says.

"Bennie taught us to round and to add big numbers."

"Lucy and Bruce helped us multiply and divide."

"Riley and Donnie showed us fractions on a number line."

"Rosie, Lizzy and Hazel measured time, graphs and area."

"Now Ferris shows us shapes. What a trail!"

Story: the trail, step by step

Each stop on the trail added a new math idea.

Let us visit some of the stops again.

ROUND AND ADD
  • Read the question.
  • Tap your answer.
Round 347 to the nearest ten.
Round 651 to the nearest hundred.
Bennie counts 458 stones, then 276 more. How many stones?
There are 700 seeds. Ferris plants 365. How many are left?
MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE
  • Read the question.
  • Tap your answer.
7 × 8 = ?
54 ÷ 6 = ?
Bruce stacks 4 piles of 60 leaves. How many leaves in all?
9 × ? = 72
FRACTIONS
  • Read the question.
  • Tap your answer.
A number line from 0 to 1 in fourths, with a dot at 3/4What fraction does the dot show?
3/8 ? 5/8
2/3 ? 2/6
A bar cut into two equal parts, one shaded; a bar cut into four equal parts, two shaded1/2 = ?/4
TIME, GRAPHS AND AREA
  • Read the question.
  • Tap your answer.
A clock showing 5:24What time is it?
A bar graph, Pets on our street: Cats 30, Dogs 45, Fish 15How many more dogs than fish are on the street?
A rectangle 6 m long and 7 m wideWhat is the area in square meters?
A rectangle 6 m long and 7 m wideWhat is the perimeter in meters?
SentenceTrue or false?
458 + 276 = 734?
7 × 8 = 54?
3/8 < 5/8?
6 × 7 = 42?
WHY THIS EXERCISE7 × 8 is 56, not 54.
