Today I am going to share you my Math Thinking. Here is my presentation.
72 people got to church on Sunday and they sat in rows of 8. How many rows are there?
I think the answer is 9 rows of 8 because I know my division.
72 divided by 8 = 9
I also know the answer is 9 because I know my multiplication.
9 x 8 = 72
I can show that there are 9 rows of 8 by using addition.
Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Row 4 Row 5 Row 6
8 8 8 8 8 8
8+8+8+8+8+8 = 48
Row 7 Row 8 Row 9
8 8 8
8+8+8 = 24
48 + 24 = 72
