Hi 3E! I hope you are finding your way to our blog because you’re looking for problems to solve and are excited about what we’re discovering in math. Have fun solving problems with multiplication or problems with rounding to the nearest 10. Type your math thinking in a comment. 🙂
Keegan has 236 songs on his iPod. If you were rounding to the nearest 10 how many songs would you say he had?
Rachael had 312 song in her iPod. If you were rounding to the nearest 10 how many songs would you say she had?
If you added their songs together, found the total and then rounded it to the nearest 10, how many songs would you say they had altogether?
Sully was at basketball practice. There were 12 kids on his team. Each teammate got to practice shooting. They worked on layups and foul shots. Each player practiced 5 layups and 6 foul shots. How may shots were practice altogether by Sully’s team?
Gabby was in a play. She practiced her lines 20 minutes in the morning before school and 15 minutes after school each day for two weeks. Over the weekends she spent 45 minutes practicing each day. How many minutes did Gabby spend practicing her lines for the play?
45+45=90
20+15=35
35+90=125 minutes per day!
That’s the answer to the math problem about Gabby.
I think that you did more in a week. There was the 90 minutes each weekend. And there was the 35 minutes each day of the week. I think you did more practicing than you realize. Thanks for showing you thinking so clearly! Thanks for working on the blog.
Keegans songs would be 240 to the nearest 10. Rachels songs would be 310. All together it would be 550 songs.
Your response is clear. Thank you for your math work on the blog.

This is Samantha. #1 is 240 songs. #2 is 310 songs. #3 is 236 + 312 = 548 songs which = 550 songs rounded.
#4 is 12×5=60 layups and 12×6=72 foul shots. Then 60+72=132 shots altogether.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for explaining you math thinking so clearly!

240+310=550 songs on Keegan and Rachael’s ipod
Your response shows how you thought to solve the problem.
It is logical and clear.
Well done,
Mrs. Eaves
thank you. Mrs.Eaves
