Complex Word Problem in Math


Today we learned and practiced the standard algorithm for multiplying 2 by 1 digit numbers.  (This means I taught them to multiply the way you and I learned to multiply!)

Below you will see the notes we took today.  (The students completed the examples, I did them on the board.)  I want to draw your attention to the word problem on the bottom of the second page. This is a COMPLEX problem, with 3 steps!  These are the sorts of problems that students must be able to solve on their Chapter Tests.
