Summer review with equal groups
These summer problems are all equal groups — drinks per cooler, popsicles per pack, chairs per row. Recognizing the equal groups tells students to multiply, and the beachy context keeps summer practice fun.
How to use it
Have students name how many groups and how many in each, write the multiplication sentence, and label the answer. Same skill as the everyday multiplication word problems.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Great for summer review. Have students name the number of groups and the size of each before multiplying.
🏠 Parent note
Ask: how many groups, and how many in each group? Then multiply.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Adding instead of multiplying
- Forgetting the unit in the answer
