Oh no! I wanted to make apple pies for the bake sale. Who ate some of the apples without asking? I could have made two pies already! How will I continue to get apples from the apple tree fields if someone keeps eating the apples? Eight whole apples are needed to make one apple pie. I guess I can make apple juice. I need four large apples to make one small box of apple juice. How many boxes of apple juice can I make? I need to make thirty apple juice boxes. So how many more apples do I need? I can fit thirteen apples in my basket each trip and I will make the juice right away. How many trips do I need to make back and forth from the apple field to make thirty apple juice boxes? If I fill the basket on the last trip how many apples are left? Can I make an apple pie? How many, if so?
Information gathered
8 apples = 1 apple pie
4 large apples = 1 apple juice box
30 apple juice boxes are needed
1 trip to the apple field = 13 apples in 1 basket

Let's start with how many apples are needed to make 30 apple juice boxes.
The information you need from your list is - 4 large apples make one apple juice box. 4 to 30 is a multiplication problem.
4x30=120
or
30 x4=120
120 apples are needed to make 30 apple juice boxes. This is new information discovered. What can this be used for?
How many trips to the apple field are needed to collect 120 apples? What kind of information well be needed?
1 trip you can collect 13 apples in your basket. Can you guess how many trips using multiplication problems bring you closest to 120 without going over that amount? What will you need to do if you need more? If you collect all 13 apples again will you have enough to make an apple pie?
Let's try a few multiplication problems and see what the answer is.
5 trips times 13 apples
5x13=65 ... that is too low
How about?
8x13=104 ... I think we can try a higher number How about times 10?
8x10=130 ... that is too high!
What number is left to try that is not too high or too low?
If 8 is too low and 10 is too high then 9 must be the closest without going over 120. What is...
9x13=117
How many more apples are needed if you collected 117 apples with 9 trips to the apple field?
-You have 117 apples
-Need 120 apples
-1 trip is 13 apples to collect in 1 basket
Let's try a subtraction problem
120 - 117 = 3 more apples needed.
How many trips do you need to make?
1 more trip. But if you collect all 13 apples can you make an apple pie?
Let's try a subtraction problem.
13-3=10 apples left.
Do you remeber the information about how many apples are needed to make 1 apple pie? Can you make a pie? How many pies can you make?
8 apples make 1 apple pie and you have 10. So yes! You can make 1 apple pie with 8 apples out of the 10 apples. How many apples are left from 10 if you used 8?
10-8=2 apples
- 13 apples collected
- 8 apples for the apple pie recipe
- 2 apples are left
So you collected numerical information and created math problems to discover more information to find your answers. Great job!
Now you just need to put a sign out, for whoever, to ask to eat the last two apples. Who could it have been?
Wow! What a beautiful flower field! My best friend is good at picking flowers. He brings it to a flower shop where the flowers get cared for and are sold. I cannot wait to know who buys the flowers and why. Two hundred flowers are for a wedding. There are twenty-five tables for the guests. Each table will have an arrangement of flowers. The arrangement will have each of one color flower. The rest of the flowers will be used for a bouquet. How many colors do you see in the endless flower field? How many flowers are in each bouquet? After all the tables have one flower arrangement how many flowers are left to make a bouquet? A small bouquet is 10 flowers, a medium size is 20, and a large size is 30. Which bouquet can the bride choose? How many choices can she make? How many flowers are left after each choice? Can I make my arrangement to take home to put in a vase?
Can you name all the colors of the flowers in the field? How many colors are there?
Since there are six colors and one of each color flower is collected to be gathered in 1 flower arrangement how many flowers are in a flower arrangement?
Six colors is six flowers. There are six flowers of different colors in the flower arrangement.
6 colors = 6 flowers
Information
6 flowers = 1 bouquet
25 guest tables
200 flowers
How many tables need a flower arrangement?
25 tables = 25 flower arrangements.
How many flowers have been used from the 200 flowers that were collected from the flower field?
This is a multiplication problem.
25 flower arrangements to 25 guest tables.
6 flowers to 1 flower arrangement.
There are 25 tables and 25 flower arrangements are needed.
This is a multiplication problem.
6x25=150 flowers are needed to make 25 flower arrangements to be each placed on the 25 guest tables.
What is the 150 numerical value mean?
It stands for how many flowers have been used from 200 flowers.
So if 150 are used from 200 flowers gathered how many flowers are left. This is a subtraction problem.
200-150=50
Information
200 flowers gathered
150 flowers used
50 flowers left
What flower bouquet can the bride choose? How many flowers are left with each bouquet?
She can choose any size bouquet! Hooray! And, Yes there are some to take home!
Subtraction problems
10 flowers small bouquet
20 flowers medium bouquet
30 flowers large bouquet
50-10=40 flowers left
50-20=30 flowers left
50-30=20 flowers left
A scientist built robots to see if he could make them do his chores and his neighbor's chores. He needs his laundry done, his dishes washed and dried, the house needs to be dusted, swept, and mopped, and the dreaded garbage and recyclables need to be taken out too.
Every four days the laundry needs to be done. Every other two weeks the newspapers, cardboard, and papers need to go to the curb. The bottles and plastic containers need to go every other alternating week too. The house needs to be cleaned every week. Dishes need to be done every day three times a day. What Kind of schedule can you make for the robots? Jack, can only afford to buy two robots. Debbie can buy six. John can buy forty-five because he is so rich! He is even willing to lend robots for a week. Will any neighbors need to borrow a robot from John? Have fun making a schedule for the robots! Each robot can only be programmed for one chore a week. Can your math group create schedules? Try naming and drawing all the robots for each neighbor!

The Monkey's Banana sales and birthday party story!
Today Tim's and Asha's pet monkey escaped the sanctuary to explore the jungle. "Oh no!" they said. His birthday is in twelve weeks. Dad and Mom will not let us go into the jungle and find him. Maybe if we send Polly our parrot and Dodge are dog to find him.
Gabert the monkey was so excited to go to the jungle. He saw it from the distance from the camp. He followed the signs and heard the sounds of wild jungle animals. He saw all types of jungle plants tall trees with vines.
Bananas! The monkey thought as he climbed the trees and swung from the vines. The monkey gathered bananas and made a huge pile on the blanket that he bought.
He carried his bananas out of the jungle and saw a village in the distance with his binoculars from a very very tall tree on a high hill. It is going to take the monkey 60 minutes to travel 10 miles miles. If he went by car the car travels 25 miles per hour in about 10 minutes. How much faster is the car than it is walking?
He saw a train and wanted to ride the train. If the train gets to the train station at 12:35 pm. and the monkey starts walking at 11:45 a.m. will the monkey be on time for the train stop? If so how early is the monkey? If not how late is the monkey?
What information is needed to answer how much longer it is to walk to the train station than it is to take a car ride?
Point A to Point B
A - Jungle
B - Train Station
A to B is traveling over a distance.
By walking, the distance takes 60 minutes to travel from point A to Point B.
By riding a car, the distance takes 10 minutes at 25 mph to travel from point A to point B.
What kind of math problem is this to solve? Are there keywords to give you a clue?
How about the keywords:
"how much longer"
"how much longer" means to find the difference between variables. So what important numerical information is needed?
The difference can be to find a greater or lesser amount. What takes more time? Walking or riding the car? What takes less time?
Walking takes more time. A value of 60 minutes. Riding a car takes less time. A value of 10 minutes. So what is the difference? How much more time does it take to walk than to ride the car?
If you subtract (take less) from 60 minutes will you have the answer? How much should you subtract?
