Moolah on My Mind page 1 of 3

Note to Families

For this Home Connection, you’ll play a game called Moolah on My Mind with your child. We have played the game in school, and your child can help you learn to play. You can also follow the directions below. The game is designed to provide practice multiplying large numbers using coin values, which are easier for many students to work with right now.

You’ll need two pencils and a paperclip to play Moolah on My Mind. Use your pencil and the paperclip as a spinner.

Instructions for Moolah on My Mind

1 Take turns spinning one of the number spinners with a partner. The player with the highest number goes first.

2 Spin both number spinners and the coin spinner.

3 Write an expression in the first column to show the results of your spins. You’ll add the two numbers and multiply by the value of the coin.

4 Multiply to find out how much money you collected and write that amount in the second column. Write it again in the last column so you can keep a running total of your money.

5 Take turns with your partner. Help each other make sure that you are adding your money accurately. In other words, be sure each other’s running totals are correct.

6 When both players have taken 10 turns, the game is over and the player with the most money wins.

7 Play another round if you like, using the optional record sheets.

4 Calvin and Leah are playing a game that has them draw fraction cards to add up to numbers that fill a 12-egg carton. Calvin had 1

3 of his egg carton full when he chose a card with 8

12 on it. He says he will fill his egg carton. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Use a labeled sketch in the egg carton diagram below to help explain your answer.

5 Leah had 46 of her egg carton full when she chose the 5

12 card. Can she fit 512 in this

egg carton? Why or why not? Use a labeled sketch in the egg carton diagram below to help explain your answer.

6 CHALLENGE Imagine you are playing the game with egg cartons that hold 18 eggs, and the fraction cards refer to 18 eggs instead of 12 eggs. (For example, if you draw the 1

2 card, that means half of 18, not half of 12.)

a If you have 23 of your first 18-egg carton full, how many more eggs will fit in that

carton? What fraction card will you need to draw to fill the first carton exactly?

b You have 13 of your second 18-egg carton full when you select the 5

6 card. Can you use this card to place more eggs in the second carton, or will you have to use your third carton instead?

Session 6

Fractions & More Fractions page 2 of 2

Answer Key

Work will vary. Calvin is correct. He will fill his carton exactly because

1/3 + 8/12 = 1/3 + 2/3 = 1

Work will vary. She cannot fit 5/12 in the carton because she already has 8/12. She

can only fit 4/12 more.

You can fit 6 more eggs. You need the 1/3 card.

You can fit 2/3 of 18 (12 eggs). 5/6 of 18 is 15 eggs, though, so they will not fit.

Impossible. Explanations will vary. Example: Because you need at least 2 lines to close a figure with parallel sides and that would make 4 sides, so it can't be a triangle.

Impossible. Explanations will vary. Example: you can't make a trapezoid with two lines of symmetry because 1 pair of sides has to be parallel and the other pair can't be. You can only get 1 line of symmetry like this:

Answers will vary; any length greater than or equal to 4 2/8 and less than equal to 5 7/8 inches will work.

Answers will vary; any length less than 4 2/8 or greater than 5 7/8 inches will work.

No value would change the median, because in the original data, there are two points on the median value and there are an even number of data points. Adding another data point at, above, or below the median will still leave the median at 5 2/8 inches.

Variables & Expressions page 1 of 2Sometimes people use letters to represent unspecified amounts. Such letters are called variables. For example, if you worked for $6 an hour, you would multiply the time you worked by 6 to find out what you earned. If we let t represent the time you worked, we could show the amount of money you earned with this expression.

6 × t

When we say, “evaluate the expression when t = 3,” we mean, “figure out how much money you would make if you worked for 3 hours.” To do this, substitute 3 for t and complete the calculation.

1 Evaluate the expression 6 × t when:t = 2 t = 4

t = 5 t = 8

2 How much money would you make if you worked 15 hours and earned $6 per hour?

They might also use a number based on the maximum quoted cost, calculated by selecting the more expensive option for each item: $5,642 + $645 + $7,635 + $578 + $2,750 + $3,050 = $20,300.)

Responses and explanations will vary. Total cost for project with Bob's: $17,837.Total cost for project with Pat's: $19,073.

1 Read the situations below carefully. Write E if an estimate is good enough. Write M if a precise measurement is necessary.

a _____ Isaac is buying some items at the store. He has $20 in his pocket. Does he need to know exactly how much the items cost altogether, or can he estimate to see if he has enough money?

b _____ Tiffany is making a frame for her favorite picture. Does she need to measure the picture exactly to know how big her frame should be, or can she estimate?

c _____ Martin has some chores he needs to do on Saturday. His friend wants to know if he can come over to play at 4:30. Does Martin need to know exactly how long he will spend on each chore, or can he estimate to see if he will be done in time to play with his friend?

d _____ Jin is baking cookies. Can he estimate the amount of flour he puts in the recipe, or does he need to measure it out exactly?

e _____ Mrs. Suarez is making some curtains for her living room. Can she estimate how big her windows are, or should she measure them to figure out exactly how wide and tall they are before she starts cutting her fabric?

2 Describe a time you needed to take an exact measurement. What were you doing? What tool did you use to measure? What unit of measurement did you use?

3 Describe a time you made an estimate. How did you make your estimate? For example, did you use rounding and friendly numbers? Did you think about what you already knew?

Drawing the Playground page 1 of 2Ms. Li’s class drew a scaled map of the area they needed for their play structure. The rectangle below represents the playground with measurements to 1:360 scale.

1 What is the length, width, perimeter, and area of the space at full scale? Give the dimensions in centimeters and meters.

Centimeters Meters

Length

Width

Perimeter

Area

8 cm

5 cm

Answer Key

Work will vary. 5 cm × 360 = 1,800 cm8 cm × 360 = 2,880 cmPerimeter: (2 × 1,800) + (2 × 2,880) = 9,360 cmArea: 1,800 cm × 2,880 cm = 5,184,000 cm2

18 m × 28.8 m = 518.4 m2

Area in square meters might also be calculated from the area in square centimeters by dividing by 100 × 100: 5,184,000 ÷ 10,000 = 518.4

See explanation below. Note: students might reverse the assignment of width and length.
