Each of the 26 classrooms at JC Sawyer received 24 tickets to the county fair. How many students will be able to go to the fair from JC Sawyer?
I am wondering who will be the first 5th grader to post a solution to the following story problem using one of the multiplication strategies we've been exploring this year. (other than the traditional algorithm!!) The 4 students who post a message explaining in words or numbers how to solve this problem using ONE of the multiplication strategies (breaking the numbers apart, creating an equivalent problem, changing one number to make an easier problem, lattice) will be able to select a prize from the prize basket and receive and extra 100% participation grade!
(Nathan & Ashley are ineligible:))
