Challenge 3: Fancy a Friday competiton?

So I've entered our class into a Target Boards competiton as part of Maths Week and you can get started by clicking :

https://www.mathsweek.ie/spring2021/targetboards/#/targetboard/spring2021

It looks like this picture shown.

Our class code to get started is... TNG3822

Give it a go today and let's creep up on the leaderboard!


INSTRUCTIONS FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE FORGOTTEN TARGET BOARDS:

A set of 9 numbers is given and using any of these numbers (only once in each expression) and the four operators, find out how many expressions you can make that makes up the target number.

The idea is to come up with as many expressions using the numbers on the board and the operators

+ addition - Subtraction * Multiplication / Division

You must use * for multiplication and / for division or it wont be recognised.

You can also group parts of the expression using brackets ( and ). Examples: 1+2+3 = 6 1+2*3 = 7 (1+2)*3 = 9

SUBJECT 3 : PHYSICAL EDUCATION (PE):

Fitness Workout

I CAN HEAR OSAID'S EXCITEMENT FROM HERE!

WhatsApp Video 2021-01-14 at 23.21.30.mp4

WARM UP : Okay...I know it's one of your ''favourites''..... 😜 so firstly let's warm up with the lovely SALLY! Let's fire up those legs with a squat challenge.... I don't expect anyone to reach over 3 mins but give it 1 minute a go... remember to squat on 'Bring Sally Down'

Main Lesson: Spell your first name and try to do 10 reps of each letter in your first name! Click play on the video to see out my example first!

I know I am very lucky to be in Kerry and have a beach within my 5km radius... but it does not matter where you do this name challenge as long as you have a small bit of space! Indoors, outdoors... where ever it's safe to do so!

Cool Down:

Make sure to give your muscles a proper stretch after you complete the Name Challenge! I've made the cool down the physical challenge of the day. So scroll up to stretch your muscles while listening to our Song For The Weekend!

Challenge 4: Daily Dingbat!

SAY WHAT YOU SEE!

Who's Friday dingbat?!
