Family Maths Challenge

Each week I will include an easy and a harder maths problem for you to solve. If you think you can solve it, with a bit of help from your family, email me the answer here with your name and class in the subject line, principal@skormond.catholic.edu.au

At assembly I will announce the family who solved the problem the quickest. Good Luck!

Easier

Katie was given a marble on Tuesday.

Then she was given two marbles every day for a long time.

When did she get her 11th marble?

Harder

Toni is selling caps for the basketball club.

The picture shows the number of caps that Toni sold during the first three weeks.

How many hats must Toni sell in week 4 so that the average number of caps that she has sold per week is 7?

P/1/2N

P/1/2N has been playing BOGGLE some mornings as a warm-up to Literacy. The game is played using a grid with letters inside. The aim of the game is to make words from the letters inside the grid. Students have enjoyed the challenge and have been busy brainstorming many different words, including common words and 2-syllable words.


3/4H

This week we have put together our assembly by working collaboratively in Google documents for the script and in Google Slides for the presentation. We tried to capture our work in Inquiry on communities looking at the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and continuing on to the first contacts with Europeans from the First Fleet. We have worked on addition and subtraction using jump strategy. In reading, we read a Dreamtime story about a Koala and a book called Revolting Recipes. Of course, Tuesdays pancakes were not revolting. Ash Wednesday mass began our Lenten journey and some students went to Gateways. What a week!



5/6P

This week, students worked hard in maths and showed some great progress! Some students worked together to multiply 5 digits by 5 digits. It was a tricky one to keep track of, but after 5 attempts, Satvik and Kristie got the correct answer...it was in the BILLIONS! A great and busy week, with Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, School Photos and Gateways!
