Question

number sense paula is making gift bags for each of her 5 friends. each bag will have 6 markers. how many markers will paula need? skip count by 6s to find the answer. then write a multiplication equation to represent the problem.

Explanation:

Step1: Skip count by 6s for 5 times

Start at 0, skip count: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. So after 5 skips (for 5 friends), we get 30.

Step2: Write multiplication equation

The number of friends is 5, and each bag has 6 markers. So the multiplication equation is $5\times6 = 30$ (or $6\times5 = 30$).

Answer:

Paula will need 30 markers. The multiplication equation is $5\times6 = 30$ (or $6\times5 = 30$).
