7. Problem Solving – You need to use the steps for problem
solving to solve the problems on the test. I will provide the steps
for problem solving on the test.
a) The average grade six student can read 8 pages a day in during
silent reading time each day. Silent reading is on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday each week. There are 40 weeks
in a school year. How many pages does a class of 27 students read
each year during silent reading?
Facts:
- 8 pages / day / student
- read 4 days a week
- 40 weeks
- 27 students are in the class.
Question: I need to calculate the number of pages the whole class
reads during silent reading every school year.
Strategy: I plan to multiply the number of pages read by one
student by 27. Then I plan to take that number and multiply that
by 4 since there are 4 days a week. I then plan to take that number
and multiply it by 40 since there are 40 weeks in the school year.
Solve:
8 x 27 = 216
216 x 4 = 864
864 x 40 = 34 560
Estimate: 8 x 30 = 240
200 x 4 = 800
800 x 40 = 32 000
My estimate has the same value of “3” in the ten thousands place
value and the place value is the same, therefore my answer is close
to being correct and my estimate is reasonable.
Conclusion: We will read 34 560 pages a year in grade 6.
