2. Write two price division word problems:
a. a measurement division problem, b. a partition division problem

3. Write two rate division word problems:
a. a measurement division problem, b. a partition division problem

4. Write two multiplicative comparison division word problems:
a. a measurement division problem, b. a partition division problem

5. Draw a diagram for each of these multiplication or division word problems, write an number sentence to solve, and for the division problems, tell whether the problem is a measurement of partition division problem:

a. I have 20 apples, and 4 bags. If I put the same number of apples on each bag, how many apples will be in each bag?

b. I have 4 bags of apples. Each bag has 5 apples. How many apples do I have?

h. A remote controlled car goes 6 feet each second. How far does it go in 5 seconds?

i. A remote controlled car goes 6 feet per second. How long does it take for the car to go 30 feet?

j. I have 21 pens and 7 pencils in the drawer. I have how many times as many pens as pencils?

k. I have 21 pens in my drawer. I have three times as many pens as pencils. How many pencils do I have?

l. I have 7 pencils in my drawer. I have three times as many pens as pencils. How many pens do I have?

6. Draw a diagram and write an explanation for why 15 ÷ 3 done the measurement way and 15 ÷ 3 done the partitive way will of course have the same answer.
