1. Modeling Multiplication Equations

2. t = 32
c =
r = 43

3. Correct – The solution is 2.
Example 1: Willie has 8 pieces of gum to divide between his 4 friends. How many pieces of gum does each friend get? Choose the answer from the set.
{2, 3, 4}
4(2) = 8
4(3) = 8
4(4) = 8
Correct – The solution is 2.

4. Example 2: Choose the correct answer to the equation from the set.
5(6) = 35
5(7) = 35
5(8) = 35
Correct – The solution is 7.

5. Example 3 : Dan has $6. 00 that he is dividing evenly among 2 friends
Example 3 : Dan has $6.00 that he is dividing evenly among 2 friends. How much will each friend get? Use a scale model to solve. 2x = 6
Divide the 6 evenly between each x.
x = 3

6. Example. 4: How many packs of paper can you buy with $35 if one package costs $7? Use the bar model to solve.
7p = 35
$35 7 7 7 7 7 1 2 3 4 5
x = 5

7. What is another way the bar model can be used to solve 7p = 35?
x = 5

8. Example 5: Solve the equation using the scale model. 4x = 12

9. 24 x = 4 Example 6: Solve the equation using the bar model. 6x = 24 4

10. Practice
Solve using the scale model or the bar model.
3x = 15
2r = 18
6y = 72
8p = 800
x = 5
r = 9
y = 12
p = 100
