Today we have 3 tasks. Today, you will learn how to make a rekenrek, but if you don't have the time or materials, no problem! You can use this digital rekenrek here:

The Hulk is back and we will estimate and investigate mass using a pan balance.
To build a rekenrek you will need these resources:
With an adult collect:
· glue (wood or hot glue)
· 4 pegs
· 10 red beads and 10 blue beads (or 10 of any 2 colours you like)
· 2 paddle pop sticks
· 2 kebab sticks
· 4 wall plugs
What’s an estimate that’s way too high?
What’s an estimate that’s way too low?
What’s a reasonable estimate?
What would you do to solve this problem? Share your thinking with a fellow mathematician or write down your ideas.
Revise your estimate: how many paddle pop sticks are needed to balance the mass of The Hulk?
What do you think will happen to the balance scale?
Draw a picture to communicate your thinking.
What can we say about the mass of The Hulk, the collection of bears and the collection of paddle pop sticks?
Research your topic!
See you tomorrow!
