How can we use a multiplication grid to help us solve this word problem? Sam had 6 packets of balloons for his party. Each packet contained 38 balloons. How many balloons would Sam have to blow up altogether?
What would the calculation look like? 38x6= What would the approximate answer be? We know that 4x6=24 so…… 40x6=240
38 x 6 = 228 8 30 180 48+ 180 48 6 8 120 100 228
