1. Write the number sixty-nine three more times. How many digits are on the line?
Instructions: You're to write "69" four times in total (once already written, then three more). Each "69" has
two digits.
So:
- 69 → 2 digits
- 69 → 2 digits
- 69 → 2 digits
- 69 → 2 digits
Total digits:
$$
4 \times 2 = 8 \text{ digits}
$$
✔ Answer: 8 digits

2. Louisa made a chain of paper clips. She used 6 large paper clips and 6 small paper clips. Draw a picture and write a number sentence.
Step 1: Draw a picture
You can draw 6 large clips (maybe as big rectangles) and 6 small clips (smaller rectangles), alternating or in a line.
Step 2: Number sentence
Add the large and small clips together:
$$
6 + 6 = 12
$$
How many paper clips did Louisa use?
$$
6 + 6 = 12 \text{ paper clips}
$$
✔ Answer:
- Number sentence: $6 + 6 = 12$
- Total paper clips:
12

3. How many dimes and pennies will you need to buy the toy car?
The toy car costs
85¢.
We know:
- 1 dime = 10¢
- 1 penny = 1¢
To make 85¢ using dimes and pennies:
- Maximum dimes: $85 ÷ 10 = 8$ dimes = 80¢
- Remaining: $85 - 80 = 5¢$, so 5 pennies
✔ Answer:
-
8 dimes
-
5 pennies
(You could also say 7 dimes and 15 pennies, but usually we use the fewest coins. So 8 dimes and 5 pennies is best.)

4. Finish the pattern.
Pattern:
Parallelogram, Triangle, Triangle, Circle, Parallelogram, Triangle, ____, ____
Let’s look at the sequence:
1. Parallelogram
2. Triangle
3. Triangle
4. Circle
5. Parallelogram
6. Triangle
7. ?
8. ?
Now, check if there's a repeating pattern.
Grouping:
- (Parallelogram, Triangle, Triangle, Circle) — this repeats?
But wait:
First group:
- 1: Parallelogram
- 2: Triangle
- 3: Triangle
- 4: Circle
Then:
- 5: Parallelogram → same as #1
- 6: Triangle → same as #2
- 7: ??? → should be same as #3 →
Triangle
- 8: ??? → should be same as #4 →
Circle
So the pattern repeats every 4 shapes.
✔ Answer:
- 7th shape:
Triangle
- 8th shape:
Circle

5. Christopher’s receipt at the classroom store:
| Item | Cost |
|--------|------|
| Milk | 42¢ |
| Beans | 31¢ |
|
Total | ? |
#### Step 1: Add the amounts
$$
42¢ + 31¢ = 73¢
$$
So, he spent
73¢.
#### Step 2: How many dimes is that?
Each dime = 10¢
$$
73 ÷ 10 = 7 \text{ dimes} \quad (\text{with } 3¢ \text{ left})
$$
So,
7 dimes and
3 pennies.
#### Step 3: How many pennies is that?
73¢ =
73 pennies
✔ Answers:
- Total money spent:
73¢
- Dimes:
7
- Pennies:
73
