NUMBER OPERATIONS (meanings)Objectives: To develop mental math strategies and abilities to make sense of quantitiesTo develop and use multiple strategies to engage in problem solvingThis image shows some bars of chocolate (or maybe pieces of one bar). The focus of this activity is the meanings of the operations in context.

What story problems can you write about the chocolate? Can you write a question for your problem that you would use addition to solve? What about subtraction? Can you write a question for your problem that you would use multiplication to solve? What about division? How do you decide which operation to use when you have a problem to solve?
