4. Marbles
Math Tale
Paolo has 4 bags of marbles.
Each bag has 3 marbles in it.
How many marbles does Paolo
have altogether?
7. Let’s Explore
Let’s recall our steps in solving a problem.
STEP 1: UNDERSTAND
What is the problem
asking for?
What are the given
information?
The number of
marbles that Paolo
has.
Paolo has 4 bags of
marbles with 3
marbles each.
8. Let’s Explore
STEP 2: PLAN
marbles in
each bag
3
?
total number of marbles
Each bag has
3 marbles.
There are 4
groups of
3 marbles.
Each bar means 1 bag of marbles. 4 bags mean 4 bars.
9. Let’s Explore
To find the total number of marbles, we can add 3 four
times or multiply 4 and 3.
STEP 3: SOLVE
Adding 3 four times gives us 12.
Addition Sentence:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 4 X 3 = 12
Multiplication Sentence:
10. Let’s Explore
We can also skip count by threes to multiply.
Skip counting
by
3s four times
also
gives us 12.
11. Let’s Explore
There are 4 groups of 3.
4 groups of 3 can
be shown by 4 rows
and 3 columns of
squares.
4 X 3 = 12
12. Let’s Explore
Let’s have another example.
A box has 5 cookies.
How many cookies are there
in 7 boxes?
13. Let’s Explore
Let’s follow the steps in solving a problem.
STEP 1: UNDERSTAND
What is the problem
asking for?
What are the given
information?
The total number of
cookies in 7 boxes.
There are 7 boxes of
cookies and each box
has 5 cookies.
14. Let’s Explore
STEP 2: PLAN
cookies in
each box
5
?
total number of cookies
Each bag has 5
cookies. There
are 7 groups of
5 cookies.
Each orange bar shows 1 box of cookies. Seven
boxes mean 7 bars.
15. Let’s Explore
We can add 5 seven times or multiply 7 and 5.
STEP 3: SOLVE
Adding 5 seven times gives us 35.
Addition Sentence:
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5
+ 5 = 35 7 x 5 = 35
Multiplication Sentence:
Let’s multiply the two numbers.
16. Let’s Explore
We can also skip count by fives to multiply.
Skip counting by 5s seven times also
gives us 35.
