On the left side here Key and I chose the number ten to see how many combinations we could make from it.
<Here are our different combinations to make ten.
Today in maths we learned how to work with fractions and our problem was
You are making a fruit salad and need 2/3 of a
cup of passion fruit. You have a 1/2, 1/4 and a ⅙ sized measuring cup. How will you measure the passion fruit?
We solved it doing 2/3 x 2=4/6 so 6 divided by 2=3 and 4 divided by 2=2 So the final answer is that you need 4 1/6 cups to make 2/3
One third of the animals in the barn are chickens. The rest are pigs.
There are 20 legs in all.
How many pigs are there? There are four pigs.
If ⅓ are chickens then ⅔ are pigs. Each chicken has two legs and each pig has four legs.
I have three dogs of different ages.
If I add their ages together I get 15.
If I multiply their ages together I get 45.
How old are my dogs? The dogs ages are 1, 5, and 9
Because 1+5+9=15 and 9x5x1=45
Niko and Kaia buy their father a card for Fathers’ Day.
The card costs $5.90. Niko puts
in 40c more than Kaia.
How much do they each contribute
to the card?
Half of 5:90 is 2:95 Niko put 40 c more
so Niko payed 3:15 and Kaia payed 2:75
I think that you’ll find a pattern in the
numbers below.
8 x 8 + 13 =77
88 x 8 + 13 =717
888 x 8 + 13 =7117
8888 x 8 + 13 =71117
88888 x 8 + 13 =711117
Does the pattern extend indefinitely?
Yes Because 88888888888x8+13=
711111111117
If Roimata allows 3 biscuits for each person and there are 12
biscuits in a packet, how many packets of biscuits does she need?
This my question for maths and I did
Because There are 172 people to cater for
I did 3 x 172=516 then I did 516 divided by 12 because each packet can take
12 biscuits and the = 43. So Roimata needs 43 packets of biscuits.
In today's maths we had a visitor named Mary who was observing us as we did our maths. One thing I learned today was that if you have fractions with different denominators you have to convert them to have the same denominators.
Today's problem:
