| Explore | While Carter was lining up he was practicing his counting by counting all the logs that went past. He counted 5. Carter then began to wonder how many people had gone on the ride while they were lining up. I wonder if you could help him find the answer. Use as many of the Multiplication strategies as you know to show your working. ENA: there were 1 or 2 people on each log. EXT: there were either 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 boats with either 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 people on each boat. Explain your reasoning. |
