Everyone Can Learn Math

Bought a new set of dumbbells. Let’s do some mental math!

There is one pair of each weight:
5 lb
10 lb
15 lb
20 lb
25 lb

💪🏽 What is the total weight of the entire set?
💪🏽 How did you find the total? Could you find the total using a different strategy?
💪🏽 The set was delivered in three separate boxes. How much weight do you think was in each box?
💪🏽 How might the ten dumbbells be combined so that each of the three boxes held the same amount of weight?
💪🏽 What shape is on the end of each dumbbell? How many sides does it have?

BONUS: The stand came in a separate box and was not assembled. How long did it take me to assemble the stand?? 😆😆
