Weekend Math Mission Answer Key
ANSWER KEY
At-Home Coaching Tips
Multiplicative vs. Additive Comparison (6-1 & 6-2): Ask your child, “Are we multiplying to make equal groups (‘times as many’), or adding/subtracting to find the difference (‘how many more/fewer’)?”
Multi-Step Modeling (6-3 & 6-4): Encourage your child to name the hidden question before solving the final step.
Part 1: Comparison Problems (6-1 & 6-2)
1. Maya’s Reading Answer: 32 pages
Bar Diagram: Friday = 1 box of \(8\). Saturday = 4 equal boxes of \(8\).
Equation: \(4 \times 8 = p\) (or \(8 \times 4 = 32\))
2. Library Books Answer: 6 times as many
Bar Diagram: Poetry = 1 box of \(7\). Graphic novels = \(42\) total, split into \(n\) boxes of \(7\).
Equation: \(42 \div 7 = n\) (or \(7 \times n = 42\)), so \(n = 6\).
3. Leo’s Basketball Points A: C | B: 27 more points
Part A: C. \(9 \times t = 36\) (multiplicative comparison: \(t = 4\) times as many).
Part B: Additive comparison asks how many more: \(36 - 9 = 27\) more points.
Part 2: Bar Diagrams & Unknowns (6-1 to 6-3)
4. Sam & Mia’s Stickers Answer: 42 stickers
Equation: \(3 \times 14 = m\) (or \(14 + 14 + 14 = m\))
Work: \(3 \times 10 = 30\) and \(3 \times 4 = 12\); \(30 + 12 = 42\). Mia has 42 stickers.
5. Baker’s Muffins Answer: 8 corn muffins
Bar Diagram: Blueberry = 6 equal boxes totaling \(48\). Corn = 1 box of \(c\).
Equation: \(48 \div 6 = c\) (or \(6 \times c = 48\)), so \(c = 8\) corn muffins.

6. Science Museum Tickets Answer: $52
Step 1 (Hidden Questions):
Adult tickets: \(2 \times \$12 = \$24\) | Child tickets: \(4 \times \$7 = \$28\)
Step 2 (Total Cost): \(\$24 + \$28 = \$52\)
7. School Garden Tomato Plants Answer: 66 tomato plants
Step 1 (Total planted): \(5 \times 16 = 80\) tomato plants.
Step 2 (Subtract eaten plants): \(80 - 14 = 66\) tomato plants left.
Combined Equation: \((5 \times 16) - 14 = p\), so \(p = 66\).
8. Nora’s Seashells Answer: 8 seashells each
Step 1 (Total seashells): \(28 + 20 = 48\) seashells.
Step 2 (Share equally): \(48 \div 6 = 8\) seashells per friend.
Combined Equation: \((28 + 20) \div 6 = s\), so \(s = 8\).
9. Weekend Bonus: Trivia Game Answer: 39 points
Step 1 (Blue Team’s score): \(3 \times 18 = 54\) points.
Step 2 (Green Team’s score): \(54 - 15 = 39\) points.
Check: \(39 + 15 = 54\), and \(54 \div 3 = 18\). The answer makes sense!
