Blog Math

Some students handed in some very appealing solutions to last week's blog math problem.  (the theme of the week seems to be puns - a reported 37 on Monday alone!) The correct response was that the cost of the apples was $0.80/kg, therefore 10 kg would be 10 x $0.80 = $8.00  (NOT $0.80 x 10)

Here is the next question which is due on Tuesday January 31 at 8:10 AM.

The students are selling cookies at a school fair. Sara is selling three chocolate chip cookies for $2.49. If you wanted to buy one cookie from Sara, how much would it cost? How much would it cost to buy 20 of Sara’s cookies?  John is selling seven chocolate chip cookies for $5.39. Who offers the better price, Sara or John? Justify your thinking using all of the steps of problem solving.

Dance update:  All groups have been videoed and have viewed their work.  We discussed together some possible modifications to improve their dance which will be evaluated on Friday.  Watch for the rubrics to come home on Monday!
