recording book, how many books can be made from a ream of paper?

1 book = 20 sheets
10 books = 200 sheets
20 books = 400 sheets
5 books = 100 sheets
For 500 sheets, add 20 books + 5 books or 25 books.
25 books can be made.

2. There are 240 students in the sixth grade at W.W. Lewis Middle School. The sixth grade
teachers have 2880 disks. If each of the students gets the same number of disks, how many
disks will each student receive?

1 disk per student = 240 disks

10 disks per student = 2400 disks
2 disks per student = 480 disks
For 2880 disks, add 10 disks per student + 2 disks per student
Each student gets 12 computer disks.

3. Mrs. Marcantel cut down an apple tree in her backyard and had a give-away celebration to
get rid of 336 apples. She offered 24 apples to each person who asked. How many people
could get free apples if each person got 24 apples?

1 person = 24 apples
10 people = 240 apples
4 people = 96 apples
For 336 apples, add 10 people + 4 people.
14 people got free apples.

10 boxes = 360 cookies
20 boxes = 720 cookies
30 boxes = 1080 cookies
40 boxes = 1440 cookies
5 boxes = 180 cookies

each bus (excluding the bus driver) can seat a maximum of 45 people, how many buses
will you need to transport everyone? Explain your answer.

238 people ÷ 45 people = 5 groups of 45 people with 13 people left. You will need at
least 6 buses to seat 238 people.

2, Mrs. Morris is preparing for an open house for all the 6th grade students in the school.
The RSVP slips from parents have been counted, and 492 people will be coming. How
many rows of chairs should be set up for the open house if there are 52 chairs per row?
Explain your answer.

492 people ÷ 52 people = 9 rows of 52 people with 24 people left. You will need a
minimum of 10 rows to seat everyone.

3. The carnival has 1539 prizes that are distributed in bags with the 16 prizes in each bag.
How many prize bags can be made? Explain your thinking.

1539 prizes ÷ 16 prizes = 96 groups of 16 prizes with 3 prizes left over. You will only be
able to make 96 prize bags.

4. The Red Ribbon Company makes one thousand twenty-nine red ribbons each day. If they
work 12 hours a day, how many ribbons do they make in an hour?

Fold and cut a square sheet of paper by following these instructions:

1. Fold the square in half diagonally, unfold, and cut along the crease into two congruent
triangles.

2. Take one of these triangles. Fold in half, unfold, and cut along the crease. Set both of
these triangles aside.

3. Take the other large triangle. Lightly crease to find the midpoint of the longest side. Fold
so that the vertex of the right angle touches that midpoint, unfold and cut along the
crease. You will have formed a middle-sized triangle and a trapezoid. Set the middle-
sized triangle aside with the two large-size triangles.

4. Take the trapezoid, fold it in half, unfold, and cut. To create a square and a small-sized
triangle from one of the trapezoid halves, fold the acute base angle to the adjacent right
base angle and cut on the crease. Place these two shapes aside.

-162 < -81 The farther from zero a negative number is, the smaller it is.
59 > -10 Positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers.

3. Would the average surface temperature on Neptune be > or < the average surface
temperature on Jupiter? Explain your reasoning.

The temperature on Neptune would be less than the temperature on Jupiter because
Neptune is farther from the sun than Jupiter.
