Discussion points for teachers
1. Is Maintenance Mick correct? Explain your answer.
Discuss which calculation to use to check the answer and how to recognise multiples of 8.
Maintenance Mick is incorrect because 9 x 8 = 72 bottles, not 78.
2. Whose guess was correct?
Discuss the calculations used to find out who is correct.
Ray’s estimate is correct because 56 ÷ 8 = 7.
3. Which calculations could Ray and Oceana do to work out how many bolts Maintenance Mick needs?
Discuss different strategies for calculating the answer to a question with two parts.
Various answers, for example: Ray and Oceana could do 7 + 5 = 12, 12 x 8 = 96. Maintenance Mick needs 96 bolts.
4. Which known facts could Ray and Oceana use to find out how many pieces of wood that would be?
Discuss strategies for identifying relevant known facts in order to calculate the correct answer.
Various answers, for example: 18 can be partitioned as 10 + 8. 10 x 8 = 80 and 8 x 8 = 64. 80 + 64 = 144 pieces of wood.
5. How many items of litter will be in each bin?
Discuss the calculations used to find out how many items will be in each bin.
64 ÷ 8 = 8
6. I can count more than 50 legs in the octopod but less than 70. Help Oceana calculate how many octopuses are in the group.
Discuss how many legs an octopus has. Discuss how to solve the problem by identifying the multiples of 8 between 50 and 70 and then dividing by 8.
7 or 8 octopuses
