Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


Concept/skill: 
Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

Answer: 
Yes. The last three rows of the table in the first problem involves solving pairs of simultaneous linear equations. The second word problem can also be represented as two simultaneous linear equations.

Now, does the problem or activity shown below enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

Here are two algorithms for finding the value of 64 × 2.

a.   How is Patrice’s method similar to and different from Jerome’s method?
b.   How do you think Jerome found the product 128?
Problem 2
Patrice solved the problem 813 × 7 using the partial products algorithm, as shown below:
[IMG]
Jerome solved in a different way from Patrice. Here is what he did:
|                      First, he found the partial product of 3 ones and 7, which is 21 ones, or 2 tens 1 one. He wrote the ones digit, 1, under the equal bar, and the 2 tens on the equal bar above the tens place in smaller handwriting.                      | Then, he found the partial product of 1 ten and 7, which was 7 tens. Because he had the 2 tens from the first partial product, he added those tens together and wrote 9 in the tens place in the product. Because he had accounted for the 2 tens from his first partial product, he crossed it off. |                                                  Finally, he found the partial product of 8 hundreds and 7, which was 56 tens. He wrote 56 in the hundreds and tens place in the product.                                                   |
