2. 16 children are sipping healthy fruit shakes. Each child has two straws. How many straws are in all? If each child had three straws, how many straws would there be?

Act it Out/ Use Manipulatives

1. Mrs. Barton loves to play with her dogs, but needs to put up a new fence around her yard so that her dogs won't run away. Below, Mrs. Barton has drawn a sketch of what her yard looks like. Measure each side in centimeters. Use the scale to help her calculate the perimeter of her yard.
*For a challenge, How many feet of fencing does Mrs. Barton need?

1 cm = 1 yard

2. Mrs. Brewster and her class are learning about healthy foods. On the way to school, Mrs. Brewster stopped to pick up items for a fruit salad. She bought watermelon for $1.50, blueberries for $2.25, apples for $.80 and cantaloupe for $2.30. She also had to purchase forks for $1.00 and bowls for $1.70. Use your classroom money to determine how much money Mrs. Brewster spent at the store.

Construct a Table or Graph:

1. Five boys in Mrs. Ambra's class counted their heartbeats for one minute. Alex counted 68, Max 57, Charles 81, Peter 76 and Bill 85.

Make a table that displays this information.

2. Five students in Mrs. Gerhardt’s class brought in canned goods to donate to needy families on Thanksgiving. Susan brought in 6 cans of cranberry sauce, Melissa brought in 4 cans of gravy, Theresa brought in 3 cans of corn, Michael brought in 7 cans of mushrooms, and Robert brought in 5 cans of yams.

Display this information on a Table.

Guess and Check:

1. Guess how many inches long your foot is. What body part can you use to help you estimate? Then use a ruler to measure. Were you close?

2. Guess how many centimeters long your foot is. What body part can you use to help you estimate? Then use a ruler to measure. Were you close?

Find a pattern:

1. It's time to clean up the playground. Each class has been talking about this problem, and things are improving. Mrs. Brewster's class is helping by picking up litter. On Monday, they find 100 pieces of litter, on Tuesday they find 80, and on Wednesday they find 60. If this pattern continues, how much litter will they find on Thursday?

2. Mrs. Hamer's class is selling healthy snacks to raise money for the rain forest. On Monday they make $4.00, on Tuesday they make $8.00, and on Wednesday they make $16.00. If this pattern continues, how much will they make on Thursday?

Work Backwards:

1. By Friday Jack had rode his bike for 5 hours. He started riding his bike on Monday. How many hours did Jack ride his bike each day?

2. Mrs. Stanley taught about 6 body parts from Monday to Friday. On Monday she taught about the brain, on Tuesday she taught about the lung, on Wednesday she taught about the intestines. On Thursday she taught about the heart. How many body parts did Mrs. Stanley teach about on Friday?

Simplify or Break into Smaller Parts:

1. Kelly planned on walking 5 miles by Friday. She started walking on Monday. She walked 1 mile. On Tuesday she walked 1/2 of a mile. She did her homework instead of walking the other half. On Wednesday she also walked 1/2 of a mile. On Thursday Kelly walked 1 mile. How far does Kelly need to walk on Friday to have walked 5 miles?

2. Darren got 6 hours of exercise this week. He road his bike for 3 hours, walked for 1 hour, jumped rope for 1/2 hour, and ran for 1 hour. Darren also mowed the lawn for exercise this week. How much time did he spend mowing the lawn this week?

Write a Number Sentence:
