Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.138 Structure Place Value and Properties in Strategies skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which strategy uses regrouping of factors to make 6 × 2 × 8 easier?

AChange one factor to a different number and then regroup.

BAdd the factors because multiplication is hard.

CMultiply only two of the factors and ignore the third.

DRegroup as (6 × 2) × 8 so you can multiply 6 × 2 first.

Solution & Explanation:The associative property of multiplication allows regrouping: (a x b) x c = a x (b x c). Grouping to make 10, 100, or 1000 can simplify the work.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Uma is finding 4,800 - 2,999. Which strategy uses compensation to make the subtraction easier?

ASubtract 3,000 from 4,800 and stop (do not adjust).

BAdd 4,800 and 2,999 because subtraction is too hard.

CSubtract 3,000 from 4,800, then add back 1.

DCount back by ones from 4,800 for 2,999 steps.

Solution & Explanation:Because 2,999 is 1 less than 3,000, subtract 3,000 and then add back 1.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which strategy uses an operation property to reorder or regroup 2,400 + 1,600 + 75 so it is easier to add?

AAdd in the order written without regrouping.

BReorder/regroup to add 2,400 + 1,600 = 4,000 first, then add 75.

CAdd the smallest two numbers first, even if they do not make a friendly sum.

DRound every addend to the nearest ten and add the rounded numbers.

Solution & Explanation:Using commutative and associative properties lets you reorder and regroup. Pairing 2,400 and 1,600 makes 4,000, so the rest is easier to add.
