Activity 1

Answers will vary, but should include inserting place holding zeros at the end of the
number, based on the power ten being multiplied. When dealing with powers of ten the
number of zeros corresponds to the exponent.

2. Answers will vary.

Jason bought 10 packs of balloons for his birthday party. Each pack contains 10 balloons.
How many balloons did Jason have for his party?

Solution:
We could add all the balloons in each of the 10 packs of balloons. But since repeated addition is similar to
multiplication, it is easier to multiply the number of packs of balloons by the number of balloons in each
pack.
Number of packs of balloons = 10
Number of balloons in each pack = 10

Total number of balloons = 10 × 10

= 100

Day 3
Topic: Patterns and Trends
