Arranging School Supplies
Mrs. Carter is organizing some of her school supplies that came in square boxes. She is trying to figure out the best way to arrange them. She knows she wants everything to be arranged in a single layer as a rectangle, but she is not sure how to arrange the boxes to make the rectangles. Can you help Mrs. Carter? Solve each problem below. Show your work using numbers, sketches, or words.
Question 1.
Mrs. Carter has 18 square boxes of tacks.
a. How many different rectangles can she make with the 18 boxes of tacks? What are the dimensions of each of the different rectangles?
Answer:
Three different rectangles. 1 × 18, 2 × 9, and 3 × 6
Explanation:
Given,
No of square boxes of tacks = 18
there are three different rectangles she can make with the 18 boxes of tacks.
The dimensions of each of the different rectangles are 1 × 18, 2 × 9, and 3 × 6
b. How do you know that you found all of the possible rectangles?
Answer:
By using the factors of 18 we can find all the possible rectangles.
Explanation:
No of square boxes of tacks = 18
let us find the factors of 18
3 × 6 = 18
2 × 9 = 18
1 × 18 = 18
By using these factors we can write the dimensions of each of the different rectangles.
Question 2.
Mrs. Carter has 24 square boxes of paperclips. How many different rectangles can she make with the 24 boxes of paperclips? What are the dimensions of each of the different rectangles?
Answer:
There are 4 different rectangles. Their dimensions are 1 × 24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, and 4 × 6.
Explanation:
Given,
No of square boxes = 24
We need to find out How many different rectangles can she make with the 24 boxes of paperclips?
Now find out the factors of 24
1 × 24 = 24
2 × 12 = 24
3 × 8 = 24
and 4 × 6 = 24
hence the dimensions of each of the different rectangles are 1 × 24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, and 4 × 6.
a. Mrs. Carter is out of storage space, so she is going to keep her paperclip boxes on the windowsill. What are the dimensions of the rectangle you think Mrs. Carter should use? Explain your thinking.
Answer:
Mrs. Carter should use 1 × 24. The dimensions of the rectangle Mrs. Carter should use is 1 × 24.
Explanation:
Because these rectangles have the same area, so she should use the largest perimeter.

Why do some posters have only one rectangle while others have two or more rectangles?
Answer:
Some posters have only one rectangle while others have two or more rectangles because of the factors of the given posters.
Explanation:
Question 2.
What do all of the posters with even numbers have in common?
Answer:
These even numbers can be divided into two equal groups or pairs and are exactly divisible by 2.
Explanation:
These even numbers have in common is they can be divided into two equal groups or pairs and are exactly divisible by 2.
Question 3.
Some of the arrays are rectangles and some of the arrays are squares. Why is that?
Answer:
Yes, Some of the arrays are rectangles and some of the arrays are squares.
Explanation:
When an array has a different number of rows and a different number of columns it creates a rectangle. When an array has the same number of rows and columns, it creates a square.
Recording Factors
Question 1.
Start by filling in the row for 12. Then write the products from the posters you talked about today in your group in the Number column and fill out the rows for those numbers.
Answer:
We have filled out the given figure. Check the below figure.
Explanation:
Question 2.
Why are some numbers prime and some numbers composite?
Answer:
A prime number has exactly two factors and itself. A composite number is a number that has more than two factors.
Explanation:
Because all natural numbers are either prime or composite but not both. Hence some numbers prime and some numbers composite.

Multiplication Table
Work Place Instructions 1A Cover Up
Each pair of players needs:
- a 1A Cover Up Record Sheet to share
- 2 spinner overlays
- 4 crayons or colored pencils in different colors
- 1 black crayon or colored pencil
1. Players record their names in the spaces provided on a record sheet.
2. Players take turns spinning the spinners and coloring in arrays with those dimensions. On each turn, players use a black crayon or colored pencil to label the area of the array.
Players talk to their partner about how they found the area.
3. Players will each get 4 turns. Players should use a different color for each array.
4. If a player spins dimensions for an array that will not fit, the player loses that turn unless he can find room to draw two smaller arrays that add up to the area of the array that was spun. The two smaller arrays must both use one of the dimensions spun on that turn.
5. After players have both had 4 turns, they determine who got closer to 100 and by how much. They record this information on the record sheet.
6. If players would like to play again, they can get another Cover Up Record Sheet.
Game Variations
A. Players can spin each spinner 5 times and see if they can fit the 5th array in the grid.
B. Players can spin each spinner 5 or more times all at once and then select dimensions for 4 arrays to fit into the grid.
C. If players are having a hard time fitting 4 arrays in the grid, they can play a few games in which they only spin 3 times.
D. Players can play the game with a partner, rather than against a partner, to see how close they can get to 100 working together.

Work Place Instructions 1B Arrays to One Hundred
Each pair of players needs:
- 2 1B Arrays to One Hundred Record Sheets for each player
- 2 dice numbered 1-6
- 1 die numbered 4-9
- crayons or felt-tip pens and 2 pencils
1. The object of the game is to fill in as much of the grid as possible without going over 100. Students will fill in their own record sheets.
2. The first player rolls any two dice and uses a crayon or colored pen to quickly sketch in an array with those dimensions. If a 1 is rolled, the player can roll again to try to get a bigger number.
3. In the box below the grid, the player writes an equation that describes the array.
4. The player’s partner must agree that the correct product has been shaded in. If it is incorrect, the player must fix it. Partners fill in the grids for each other on their own record sheets.
5. Players take turns rolling any two dice and use a different color pen or crayon to sketch each array.
6. As players’ grids fill up, they might roll an array that won’t fit in one place. Arrays can be broken into smaller arrays. The written equation must show how the player combined smaller arrays to get the product of the numbers rolled.
Cheyenne rolled 4 × 8. It would not fit in her grid, so she broke the array into two smaller arrays: (2 × 8) + (2 × 8).
7. If a player rolls an array that can’t fit in his grid, even if it is broken into smaller arrays, that turn is lost.
8. When one player gets close to filling in the entire grid, she can choose to stop rolling the dice. The other player can continue rolling until he wants to stop.
9. The game is over when both players have decided to stop rolling.
10. The player who gets closest to filling in all 100 squares wins the game. Circle the winner on each record sheet.
Game Variation
Partners choose the dice for each other.

Each pair of players needs:
- 2 1D Spinning Around Multiplication Record Sheets
- 1 spinner overlay
- 2 pencils
1. Players take turns spinning over each number circle. On each turn, the player decides what kind of fact was spun. If a fact fits in two categories, only one category is chosen.
2. Each player writes an equation with the factors and their product in the chosen category.
I spun 8 and then 9. It could be Double-Double-Doubles or Tens Minus One Set.
Tens Minus One Set is easier for me, though, so I wrote the equation in the last column.
3. Players record both their own and their partner’s equations on their record sheet.
4. The game ends when one player has at least one equation in each column. Players may have more than one fact in some columns before recording a fact in every column. If the player who took the first turn is the first to get an equation in each column, the other player may take one more turn.
Game Variations
A. Play continues until one player gets at least two facts in every box.
B. Players multiply by each number in one of the number circles by 10, then play as described above. They notice which columns fill and consider whether there are any columns that never get filled.
C. During the game, players consider the probability of being able to fill in each column—which are most likely to be filled in?
