Okay, 242 tokens for the guitar, here we go…
You did it! Well 40 tokens is a start.
Oh I wonder, if all six of you had 40 tokens each and joined them together, then could you afford it?
6x40, oh so that’s the same as 6x4x10. And I can multiply by four, that’s the same as doubling and then doubling again.
And to multiply by ten I know I just need to add a zero to the end.
Uh oh… how do you plan to divide it up?
I was thinking more like, taking it in turns?
What is 6 x 40?
- 6 x 40 is equal to 6 x 4 x 10
- 6 x 4 is equal to 6 x 2 x 2
- 6 x 2 x 2 = 24
- 24 x 10 = 240
- This means 6 x 40 = 240
Break down the calculation as much as you need to. If you know 6 x 4 = 24, you don't have to break it down into 6 x 2 x 2.
