Leta's Second Growing Post






- Question One

What strategies were used?

I used multiplication, division and i used a ratio table.

How did you use the strategies?

I used multiplication and division with the ratio table to figure out the new size containers.

Or how could you have used these strategies?

I just stuck with the ratio table because i thought it was easier then doing clock and money.


How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table.



















Find 3 other values (amounts of Snack Mix) that could be solved using the same ratio table. Find the $$ of your new container sizes.
















- Question 2

- Question 3


How much pizza does each student get in the different groups?

Gr 1 ] Each person would get 6 slices of pizza.
Only if you cut it into 8 pieces.


Gr 2]
Each person would get 8 slices of pizza
Only if you cut it into 8 pieces.

Gr 3]
Each person would get 3 slices of pizza.
Only if you cut it into 3 pieces

Gr 4] Each person would get 8 slices of pizza.
Only if you cut it into 8 pieces


Which group gets the largest portion of pizza?

Group 4 did because i cut it into 8 pieces so then each of them would get 8 slices


What strategies did you use in finding your answer.

i used circles for my strategy and i just picked random numbers =)
