Multiplicative Comparisons on the Wall
You’ll need to be able to see the Great Wall of Base Ten in your classroom to complete parts of this sheet.
Question 1.
Here are the three smallest pieces on the Great Wall: the unit, the strip, and the mat. Use them to help answer problems a-c below.
a. Fill in the blanks below.
The strip is _____ times as big as the unit.
The mat is ____ times as big as the strip.
Answer:
The strip is 10 times as big as the unit.
The mat is 10 times as big as the strip.
b. Andrew says that the mat is 1,000 times as big as the unit. Do you agree? Why or why not?
Answer:
Given,
Andrew says that the mat is 1,000 times as big as the unit.
A mat has 100 units.
100 < 1000
So I don’t agree with Andrew.
c. Which equation tells how many times bigger the mat is than the strip?
 1 × 100 = 100
 100 = 10 × 10
 100 = 10 + 10
Answer:
A mat has 100 units.
10 × 10 = 100 units
100 = 10 × 10
Option B is the correct answer.

Work Place Instructions 2A What’s Missing? Bingo
Each pair of players needs:
- 2 What’s Missing? Bingo Record Sheets
- a deck of What’s Missing? Bingo Cards to share
1. Each player chooses one of the bingo boards on their own record sheet.
Players need to choose different boards.
2. Players decide who will go first, shuffle the cards, and place them in a stack face-down.
3. Players take turns drawing a card from the top of the stack and then work together to determine what the missing number is.
Sage Hmm … this means that something times 7 is 35. What times 7 is 35?
Nicole I remember! It’s 5.
4. Both players mark an X over the missing number if it appears on their bingo board. Some numbers may appear more than once, so players should think carefully about where they mark the X. (A player can only mark one number on each turn, even if there are 2 or more of the same number on the board.)
Nicole There are two 5s on my board, but if I put my × here, I can get 4 in a row and win!
5. Players continue to take turns drawing cards and marking their boards until one of them gets 4 in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Game Variations
A. Play the game more than once. Since both players have 4 boards on their sheets, they can play up to 4 times in a single session, as long as they choose a different board than their partner each time.
B. Play for blackout instead of 4 in a row. (Blackout is when one player marks off every number on his or her bingo board.)
C. Play with two boards instead of one. (Players can still mark only one number per turn, but in playing this version of the game, they can move between the two boards, switching from one to the other whenever they want.) The first player to get 4 in a row on both boards wins.
Be sure each player chooses the 2 boards his or her partner is not using. For example, Player 1 might use Boards 1 and 4, while Player 2 uses Boards 2 and 3.
Flora Tries Again
After Flora found that the piece of cloth she’d cut wasn’t big enough, she tried again several times to cut a piece that was exactly 240 square centimeters. Here are the dimensions of the four other rectangles she cut.
Question 1.
Circle the combination you believe will produce a piece of cloth closest to the size Flora needs.
Answer:
Given,
After Flora found that the piece of cloth she’d cut wasn’t big enough, she tried again several times to cut a piece that was exactly 240 square centimeters.
230 sq. cm is close to 240 square centimeters.
So, the answer is 240 sq. cm.
Question 2.
Create a rectangular array with base ten area pieces to model each of the combinations.
Answer:
Each strip has 8 units.
10 × 8 = 80 sq. cm
10 × 12 = 120 sq. cm
10 × 15 = 150
10 cm × 23 cm
= 230 sq. cm
Question 3.
For each combination, find the area of the piece of cloth Flora cut. Record your answers below, and be sure to label them with the proper units.
a. 10 cm × 8 cm = _____
Answer:
10 cm × 8 cm
= 800 sq. cm
b. 10 cm × 12 cm = ____
Answer:
10 cm × 12 cm
= 120 sq. cm
c. 10 cm × 15 cm = ____
Answer:
10 cm × 15 cm
= 150 sq. cm
d. 10 cm × 23 cm = _____
Answer:
10 cm × 23 cm
= 230 sq. cm
Question 4.
CHALLENGE Can you think of more than one way for Flora to cut a rectangle that is exactly 240 square centimeters?
Answer:
240 can be written as 24 × 10
length = 24 cm
width = 10 cm
Area = 24 × 10 = 240 square centimeters

Answer:
Question 6.
CHALLENGE The perimeter of Square A is 24 linear units. The area of Square B is 4 times the area of Square A. What is the area of Square B? What is the perimeter of Square B? Show your work.
Answer:
Given,
The perimeter of Square A is 24 linear units. The area of Square B is 4 times the area of Square A.
24 = 4L
L = 24/4 = 6 linear units
Area of the square = s²
A = 6 × 6 = 36 sq. units
The area of Square B is 4 times the area of Square A.
Area of Square B = 4 × Area of Square A
Area of Square B = 4 × 36
So, Area of Square B = 144 Quadratic Units
Area = s²
s = √area
s = √144
s = 12 linear units
Perimeter = 4s
= 4 × 12
= 48 linear units
