Price lists with multiplication

key notes :

Understanding Price Lists

• Explain what a price list is (e.g., a table showing the cost of different items).
• Use examples from everyday life, such as menus, grocery store lists, or catalog prices.

Using Multiplication with Price Lists

Highlight that multiplication helps find the total cost when buying multiple quantities of the same item.

Show examples like:

1 apple costs $2, so 5 apples cost 5 × 2 = 10 dollars.

Real-Life Scenarios

• Present real-world situations like shopping for groceries or calculating the total cost for a group meal.
• Encourage students to practice reading price lists and applying multiplication.

Steps to Solve Problems

• Step 1: Identify the price of one item from the price list.
• Step 2: Determine the quantity of items to buy.
• Step 3: Multiply the price of one item by the quantity to find the total cost.
