Multiplication and division word problems

The first instance of  is under the 4th Grade Math Mission. This exercise introduces word problems involving one-step multiplication and division situations.

Types of Problems
There are two types of problems in this exercise:


 * 1) Find right equation: This problem describes a word problem and has a multiple choice menu of several equations that model the situation. The student selects the correct equation. On some problems, the correct equation also includes the correct answer, but sometimes the student also needs to type in the correct answer. The example on this page shows a situation where the student also needed to type in the final answer.Mdwp1.png
 * 2) Solve equation: This problem describes a word problem. The student simply types the correct answer in the box.Mdwp2.png

Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy badges because the problems all become one-step equations. Speed badges are easy also because the problems recycle at a pretty fast rate.


 * 1) The exercise description says that there may be remainders, but research has not found any with remainders.
 * 2) Until you cycle through all problems, it is important to read carefully as sometimes the division versus multiplication can be subtle without a careful read.
