MCA Prep Packets

April 9, 2015

Good morning thinkers!
Many of you have been working on green MCA prep packets. Recently there was a math problem that seemed impossible! It was a multi-digit multiplication problem that was missing the product and part of a factor. It seemed impossible, because it was! You did not have enough information to complete the problem. Many students simply completed the factor to find a product to find an answer!

Try this!

Work with a partner or your class together. What are strategies you can use to determine the digit that is missing!

Be principled. Be caring. Have integrity.
(Be good. Be nice. Behave!)
