It’s Wednesday – here are some problems to solve

Mrs. Eaves Uncategorized

numbersGabby and Nathan  started out to visit Grandma. They drove for 50 miles and stopped to rest before driving for 30 more miles. They decided to go back 10 miles to a restaurant they had seen. After leaving the restaurant, they drove 80 more miles to Grandma’s house. How many miles did the girls drive on the way to Grandma’s house?

Make a drawing, and this will be easier to solve!

Gabby and Nathan spent $8 for gasoline, $15.65 for their lunch, and $5 apiece for gifts for Grandma. Grandma gave each of them $10. If the girls left home with a total of $50, how much do they have for the return trip?

Remember –  you must find other answers before you can find the final answer in the problem.

Jake learned that on Friday, 1,250 people visited the zoo. He learned that three times as many people visited on Saturday than on Friday. How many people visited the zoo on Friday and Saturday together? 

The store sells flour in 1-lb, 5-lb, and 10-lb bags. What is the fewest number of bags to buy to get 25 lb of flour? 

Remember what fewest means.  Drawing a picture or using counters might help make this problem easier to solve.

3E Countries – Our Museum

Mrs. Eaves Projects and Challenges

It’s 7:30 pm  on Tuesday.  Thank you so much for your attention and help.  Of course there is no time that works clearly and easily for everyone. I knew that would likely be true, but still I was hoping!  Thank you so much for responding and thanks so much for being flexible and understanding.

Here is a summary of family choices from your comments:

Wednesday – 1

Thursday – 4

Friday – 3

Neutral – 2

We will go with Thursday from 6:15 – 7:15.  The classroom will also be set up as the museum and ready to share with others from 2:00 to 2:45 on Thursday afternoon.   Students and teachers from different grades and classrooms will visit the museum and help us practice for the evening presentation.  We would be glad to have you visit at that time if you are unable to attend Thursday evening.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for all you do to encourage our learning.  We are excited to teach you what we have learned about the world.  Perhaps you’ll plan your next trip based on what you learn from us. 🙂
