Answer: Austin, Emily, Rob, Kaylee, Leanne
Explanation: Compare the five heights and arrange them from greatest (tallest) to least (shortest). The order is: Austin (44 inches), Emily (42 inches), Rob (41 inches), Kaylee (38 inches), and Leanne (35 inches).
Common Core Standards: 1.MD.A.1 | 1.OAA.1| 1.NBT.B.3 |SMP 2 | SMP 3
Teacher Notes: Consider cutting strips of receipt paper to match the lengths to help children visualize the different heights. Ask children to put the heights on a number line.
Extension: Have children work with a partner to measure their own heights. Then arrange the class in order from tallest to shortest. Create a graph to represent the data.
Answer: False
Explanation: To find the total number of people who voted, you need to add up the votes for each flavor: chocolate (8), vanilla (5), lemon (3), strawberry (1), and pumpkin (6). 8 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 6 = 23. 23 is an odd number, so the answer is False.
Common Core Standards: 2.MD.10 | 2.OA.1 | SMP 2 | SMP 5
Teacher Notes: Discuss the value of half of a symbol. Ask children, “If a whole cupcake represents 2 votes, how many votes do you think a ½ a cupcake represents?” You can use counters to show 2 counters for 1 cupcake and if you were to split the cupcake in ½ then each ½ gets 1 counter or 1 vote.
Extension: How many more people voted for chocolate and vanilla than the other three flavors? (13-10 = 3 more people)
Answer: 9 ants
How to: Lara saw 54 legs. Ants have 6 legs each, so she saw 9 ants (54/6=9). Johnathan saw 36 antennas. Ants have 2 antennas each, so he saw 18 ants (36/2=18). The difference in the number the two kids saw is 9 (18-9=9), so Johnathan saw 9 more ants than Lara.
Common Core Standard: 3.OA.2, 3.OA.8, SMP2, SMP6
Teacher Notes: Use counters, coins, or other manipulatives to support student thinking.
Extension: How many ants did they see in all?
Answer: 126 feet
How to: The giant sequoia is 294 feet tall (7×42=294). The pine tree is 168 feet tall (4×42=168). To compare the two heights, subtract 294-168=126 feet, so the giant sequoia is 126 feet taller than the pine tree.
Common Core Standard: 4.OA.1, 4.OA.2, SMP1, SMP2
Teacher Notes: Emphasize the multiplicative comparison aspect of this problem.
Extension: Every foot of tree can be turned into 1,000 pieces of paper. How many pieces of paper can be made from all three trees combined?
