Math - we have been practicing making story (word) problems that show the inverse operations of multiplication and division.
Create 2 pairs of problems. Each pair should have a multiplication version and a division version.
Write the equations, first using a variable, then with the answer.For example:
Karen wanted to go fishing with her brother and grandfather. Grandfather had 15 colorful lures. How many could each of them use. 15 ÷ by 3 =  f      15  ÷ 3 = 5

Karen, her brother and her grandfather each use 5 fishing lures. How many are used in all?
3 X 5 = f
3 X 5 = 15

Science - sheet (both sides). You do not need the text book. All information is on the sheet.
