Multiplication Monday – Problem 1: Valentine’s Day Hearts

Suzi buys 72 boxes.
Each box has 24 hearts.
Her mother gives her a bag of 50 boxes, and each of those also has 24 hearts.

We need to find the total number of hearts.

First, find how many boxes she has in total:
72 (from Suzi) + 50 (from mom) = 122 boxes

Each box has 24 hearts, so:
Total hearts = 122 × 24

Let’s calculate that:

Break it down:
122 × 20 = 2,440
122 × 4 = 488
Add them: 2,440 + 488 = 2,928

✔ So, expression to solve: (72 + 50) × 24 or 122 × 24

Final answer for this part: 2,928 hearts

Multiplication Monday – Problem 2: Black History Month Weeks

There are 381 days in the boycott.
How many weeks is that?

We know: 1 week = 7 days

So divide 381 by 7:

381 ÷ 7 = ?

7 × 54 = 378
381 - 378 = 3 → remainder 3

So, 54 full weeks and 3 extra days.

But the question asks “how many weeks” — if they want whole weeks, it’s 54 weeks.

If they want exact decimal: 381 ÷ 7 ≈ 54.428... but since it says “how many weeks”, and context is historical event duration, we usually say 54 weeks and 3 days, but if only whole weeks count, then 54.

Looking at typical school problems like this, they likely expect 54 weeks (ignoring remainder unless specified).

✔ Final answer: 54 weeks

Multiplication Monday – Problem 3: Bake Sale Cupcakes

Jen’s school has:
- 23 trays
- Each tray has 18 cupcakes
- Each cupcake has 3 conversation hearts

Find total hearts.

Step 1: Total cupcakes = 23 trays × 18 cupcakes/tray

23 × 18:

20 × 18 = 360
3 × 18 = 54
360 + 54 = 414 cupcakes

Step 2: Each cupcake has 3 hearts → 414 × 3 = ?

400 × 3 = 1,200
14 × 3 = 42
1,200 + 42 = 1,242 hearts

✔ Expression: 23 × 18 × 3
✔ Final answer: 1,242 hearts

Base Ten Tuesday – Problem 1: Groundhog’s Day Population

In 2013, estimated population at Gobbler’s Knob was 30,000 people.

Which expressions equal 30,000? Mark all that apply.

Options:

a. (6 x 5) x 10² → 30 x 100 = 3,000 ✘
b. 3 x 10⁴ → 3 x 10,000 = 30,000 ✔
c. (5 x 6) x 10³ → 30 x 1,000 = 30,000 ✔
d. 3 x 10⁵ → 3 x 100,000 = 300,000 ✘

✔ Correct answers: b and c

Base Ten Tuesday – Problem 2: True or False?

Equation: (9 x 30) + 8 = (3 x 3) x 30 + 4 + 4

Left side: (9 × 30) + 8 = 270 + 8 = 278

Right side: (3 × 3) × 30 + 4 + 4 = 9 × 30 + 8 = 270 + 8 = 278

Both sides equal → True

✔ Answer: True

Base Ten Tuesday – Fun Fact: Write 80,000 as an exponent

80,000 = 8 × 10,000 = 8 × 10⁴

✔ Answer: 8 × 10⁴

Daily Update Questions (Opinion-based — no single correct answer)

You can choose any person you admire who changed the world — e.g., Martin Luther King Jr., Malala Yousafzai, Nelson Mandela, etc. Explain why briefly.

For animal predicting weather: You could pick a groundhog (like Punxsutawney Phil), a frog, a bird — whatever you think makes sense! Just explain your choice.

Since these are opinion questions, I’ll skip giving a “final answer” for them — they’re meant for you to think about!
