Money Models 3(? + 2) 3 bags, each with ? + 2 pounds = 3? + 2 3 bags of ? pounds each, + 2 pounds =
Money Models Money Models DOUBLES YOUR MONEY THEN GIVES YOU $4 GIVES YOU $4 THEN DOUBLES YOUR MONEY
Play around! Play around!
How do we respond? How do we respond? 1. Which genie? They re both the same, so it doesn t matter. 2. Which genie? Well, it depends how much money you have. 3. OK, I m done! I just plugged in 10 for each. 4. OK, I m done! I just expanded the brackets. 5. Why do I have to use x ? It s easier with numbers.
