4.1: Number Talk: Subtracting From Five
Find the value of each expression mentally.

5 - 2

5 - 2.1

5 - 2.17

5 - 2\frac{7}{8}

4.2: Row Game: Solving Equations Practice
Solve each pair of equations. Your answers for each pair should be the same.

18 = 2x
36 = 4x

17 = x + 9
13 = x + 5

8x = 56
3x = 21

21 = \frac{1}{4}x
28 = \frac{1}{3}x

6x = 45
8x = 60

x + 4\frac{5}{6} = 9
x + 3\frac{5}{6} = 8

\frac{5}{7}x = 55
\frac{3}{7}x = 33

\frac{1}{5} = 6x
\frac{1}{3} = 10x

2.17 + x = 5
6.17 + x = 9

\frac{20}{3} = \frac{10}{9}x
\frac{14}{5} = \frac{7}{15}x

14.88 + x = 17.05
3.91 + x = 6.08

3\frac{3}{4}x = 1\frac{1}{4}x
\frac{7}{5}x = \frac{7}{15}
