Blog Math and More!

Congratulations to the students who correctly answered last week's blog math question. Here are the answers:

Box 1:  1.13 x $7.49 = $8.46
Box 2:  1.13 x $3.75 = $4.24

Purchasing one of each:  1.13 x ($7.49 + 3.75) =  $12.70

Here is the question for next week.  It is due Tuesday April 18, the first day back after the Easter weekend.

Financial literacy:  A woman put $580 into a savings account for one year. The rate of interest on the account was 6½% per year. How much was the interest for the year in dollars and cents? If no other deposits were made during the year, what would the account balance be at the end of the year? Justify your thinking.  (Round to the nearest cent)

What do you like to snack on?  Click here to see snacks that some people believe that you should never eat.  What do you think?

Lottery Tickets:  If anyone still has unsold tickets and/or sold tickets and money that they have not returned, please do so by tomorrow!

*  Please note that not all students have written the religion summative task that was done on Friday, or the math and geography tests that was done on Monday due to absences.  These items will be returned to the students after all have completed them.  I will let you know so that signatures can be obtained promptly.  Thanks!
