Fairy Tale Maths Problem

Once upon a time ...

the wicked witch of the west needed to go to the dentist to get her ugly teeth fixed. The dentist was 36km away. Her broomstick could only fly 6km every hour.  

How many hours will it take her to get to the dentist?

In class we were looking at fairy tales. We decided in maths that we would write a story problem using a fairy tale Character. We had to make a problem that could be solved with times tables.

A Fishy problem

A Fishy problem

In class we were doing  problem solving

Milly just got a new pet fish. The pet shop owner told her that she needs to put the fish into exactly one litre of water. The problem is she can only find two containers. One container holds 7 litres and the other container holds 4 litres of water.

Can you use these two containers to put exactly one litre of water into the fish tank?

The answer is yes. Because you fill the 4 litre container and you pour it into the 7 litre container. Now  the seven litre container  can only hold 3 litres of water because 4 + 3 = 7. Now I filled the 4 litre container again. Then I poured it  into the seven litre container until it got filled to the top. Now I was left with 1 litre in the four litre container.  Now Millie can pour the 1 litre of water from the container into the fish tank.

Art Day

This is  all my art that I did on Art Day. It was really fun. We made oragami stars for our matariki wall in our class. We had to choose a fairy tale then we had to draw the main object. We coloured it in using pastels.

We used speech recognition to write. Speech recognition is when you speak into your chromebook using the speech recognition app and it writes down what every you say on to a document.
