More Ant Stories

Question 1.
There are 4 lines of ants. There are 5 ants in every line. The queen wants 30 ants for her parade.
Bridges in Mathematics Grade 2 Home Connections Unit 7 Module 2 Answer Key 1
a. How many ants are lined up right now? Show your work.
Answer:
Total number of ants are lined up right now = 20.

Explanation:
Number of lines of ants = 4.
Number of ants in each line = 5.
Number of ants queen wanted for her parade = 30.
Total number of ants are lined up right now = Number of lines of ants × Number of ants in each line
= 4 × 5
= 20.

b. How many more ants need to line up? Show your work.
Answer:
Number of more ants need to line up = 10.

Explanation:
Number of lines of ants = 4.
Number of ants in each line = 5.
Number of ants queen wanted for her parade = 30.
Total number of ants are lined up right now = 20.
Number of more ants need to line up = Number of ants queen wanted for her parade – Total number of ants are lined up right now
= 30 – 20
= 10.

Fraction Races & More

Note to Families
Here are the rules for a new fraction game we learned in school. Please play this game with your child several times. Then have your child complete the exercise on the back of this sheet and return it to school.

1. Use the extra set of construction paper strips to fold, cut, and label another fraction kit. It should be just like the one you brought home with you.

2. Set your whole strip out in front of you and stack the other fraction pieces to the side so you’re ready to play. Have your partner do the same.

3. Anchor a paperclip with a pencil and use it as a spinner arrow. Spin the spinner and take the fraction piece that it names and lay it on top of your whole strip. Then give your partner a turn. Continue taking turns back and forth until one of you has filled your whole strip. The tricky part is that you have to go out evenly. If you spin a fourth and then a half, so that three-fourths of your whole strip is covered, and then spin another half, you can’t use it. In this case, you lose your turn and have to wait until your next turn to try again.
Bridges in Mathematics Grade 2 Home Connections Unit 7 Module 2 Answer Key 6
4. When one person has won by filling his or her entire strip with fraction pieces, clear them off and play again.
Bridges in Mathematics Grade 2 Home Connections Unit 7 Module 2 Answer Key 7
5. When this seems easy, play backward. That is, start by covering your whole strip with fraction pieces. (You can do this using any combination of pieces you want—2 halves, 4 fourths, a half, a fourth, and 2 eighths, etc. You may have to do some trading along the way.) Then take turns spinning the spinner and removing the pieces it names. The first person to remove all of his or her pieces from the strip is the winner.

Bridges in Mathematics Grade 2 Home Connections Unit 7 Module 2 Answer Key 9

a. \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = _________________
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\).

Explanation:
\(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = (1 + 1) ÷ 4
= 2 ÷ 4
= 1 ÷ 2 or \(\frac{1}{2}\).

b. \(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = _________________
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 1.

Explanation:
\(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = (1 + 1) ÷ 2
= 2 ÷ 2
= 1.

c. \(\frac{2}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = _________________
Answer:
\(\frac{2}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\).

Explanation:
\(\frac{2}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = [(2× 1) + (1 × 2)] ÷ 8 (LCM of 8,4 = 8)
= (2 + 2) ÷ 8
= 4 ÷ 8
= 1 ÷ 2 or \(\frac{1}{2}\).

d. \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = _______________
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 1.

Explanation:
\(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) =
= (1 + 1 + 1 + 1) ÷ 4
= 4 ÷ 4
= 1.

e. \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = ________________
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 1.

Explanation:
\(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = [(1 + 1) +(1 × 2)] ÷ 4 (LCM of 4, 2 = 4)
= (2 + 2) ÷ 4
= 4 ÷ 4
= 1.

f. \(\frac{1}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = ________________
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\).

Explanation:
\(\frac{1}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = {(1 + 1) + (1 × 4)] ÷ 8
= (2 + 4) ÷ 8
= 6 ÷ 8
