The chart shows how many feathers each turkey has. How many feathers would 16 turkeys have? 4. Daniel wrote down the number of Turkeys he saw. Then he multiplied the number by 4 and added 8 to the product. The result was 32. How many Turkeys did Daniel See?

  2. Ten-Minute Math • Practicing Place value • I will read a number out loud. You must write the number down correctly in standard and word form. • What is 40 more than this number? • What is 400 more than this number? • What is 10 less than this number?

  3. Today’s Math Lesson Have you ever been on a road trip before?
