How many people can ride a Ferris wheel with 14 seats, each of which holds 6 people? Learners assess this and four other multiplication word problems, and are encouraged to show their work. They use double- and triple-digit numbers, and in the last question are challenged with a combinations question with regard to ice cream cones and flavors.

Instructional Ideas

• Use these as part of a multiplication word problems class book! Use each problem as the text of one page, assigning students the illustrations to demonstrate solutions

Classroom Considerations

• There isn't a lot of room on this worksheet to show work; consider reminding learners to use the back if they need it

Pros

• Realistic scenarios show students how often multiplication is actually used in life

Cons

• The wording of the two last questions is a bit confusing and may require clarification
