This lesson is a series of word problems that builds on the concepts introduced in this unit. Students solve problems about mass using data tables, graphs, and multiplication.

Content in this Lesson

  • Identifying and extending multiplicative patterns represented in a table or graph [E1].
  • Solving multiplication problems involving mass [E3].
  • Making and interpreting point graphs [E9, E10].
  • Drawing best-fit lines [E9].
  • Using patterns in data tables and graphs to make predictions and solve problems [E11].
  • Measuring mass in grams [E6].
  • Connecting mathematics to real-life situations.
  • Solving problems and communicating solution strategies [MPE1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].

E1.
Identify and extend multiplicative patterns represented in a table or graph.
E3.
Solve multiplication and division problems involving measurement (e.g., mass and length).
E9.
Make a point graph using ordered pairs and draw a best-fit line.
E10.
Read a table or point graph to find information about a data set.
E11.

MPE2.
Find a strategy. I choose good tools and an efficient strategy for solving the problem.
MPE3.
Check for reasonableness. I look back at my solution to see if my answer makes sense. If it does not, I try again.
MPE5.
Show my work. I show or tell how I arrived at my answer so someone else can understand my thinking.
MPE6.
Use labels. I use labels to show what numbers mean.
