There are 8 pencils in a box. AJ has 15 boxes of pencils.
How many pencils are altogether?


15 x 8 = ??


10 x 8 = 80


5 x 8 = 40


80 + 40 = 120

To solve this problem, I used place value partitioning.
I multiplied 10 by 8 and I got 80 as the answer.
Then, I multiplied 5 by 8 and I got 40 as their answer.
Then I added 80 and 40 and I got 120. So AJ has 120
pencils altogether.

Week 1 of Term 1 - 2020

This year I am now in room 10. My teacher's name is Mr. Nath. I am now a Year 6.

I am very happy to be in room 10 because I get to be best friends with new people.

My goals for this year are to improve my reading, math, and writing. I would like become good at PE and sports.

In future, I would like to become a teacher so that I can help my students achieve their goals in learning and get good grades.
