Story Problems:

Ok Friends!  Now that we have some understanding of how multiplication works and when we can use it the real fun begins!!  Tonight's homework is to comment on this post with a  multiplication story problem.  Then you will have one week to comment on a friends comment with how to solve the problem. 

For example you might comment on my blog with this:

Once upon a time a little mouse found 4 large pieces of cheese.  Each piece of cheese had 11 holes in it.  How many holes where there in all of the piece of cheese?  

(When you write your multiplication story problem please keep both numbers smaller than 12.) 

Then one of your friends might post the answer to your story problem like this :

4 pieces of cheese x 11 holes = 44 holes

(When you post the answer please include the words that explain what you are multiplying like we have been practicing in class! )

Have fun and be creative!!
