Example problems from the on-level sheet

  • 2 groups of 4 — how many in all?
  • 3 groups of 2 — how many in all?
  • 7 groups of 5 — how many in all?

Every sheet is generated, so the numbers are different each time you make one.

Before this: 2.OA.4 — use addition to find the total number of objects in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and 5 columns; write an equation as a sum of equal addends.
