Results and Fuel

Congratulations to those students who completed the blog question and handed it in on time.  No longer are these questions optional.  The students were told last week that they are expected to complete the blog math question each week.  Ask your child if they did or had to stay in for recess because the homework was not complete (5 did!).  

Here is a possible solution to last week's proportional reasoning question.  Please note that while many students arrived at a correct answer, not all made their thinking visible and/or explained what they were doing and why.  This is extremely important in math solutions.

Here is the latest question.  It is due on Wednesday April 29 (since Monday April 27 is a P.D.Day) for all students as this task is no longer optional.

A motor bike can run for 10 minutes on $0.30 worth of fuel.  How long could it run on $1.05 of fuel?  Justify your thinking.
