13 Cancelling in multiplication only!!

14 How many 45 minute games can be played in 6 hours? 1 game * 1 game * 1 game * 1 game * 1 game * 1 game * 6 games + 2 more

15 What is happening in our equation??????? When we multiply 6 x 4, we are finding how many fourths are in 6 hours. There are 24 fourths in 6 hours. The 24 that we have is now divided into groups of 3. Twenty four sections divided by 3 gives us our 8 games.

18 1 2 Equations

19 Models 6 This next part is a bit tricky…..we are talking about 4 sections, right? Well, there are 2 left over. Two is ½ of 4, so 2 ½ Next slide
