Use the following questions to review for your Midterm Test. Your teacher will assign each question to a small group of students. Each group will prepare a display, then present solutions to the class. You may use the Math Practices page and the Addition, Subtraction, and Multiplication Strategies Menu pages in the Reference section. Show your work for all problems.
