It’s Wednesday – here are some problems to solve

These are problems from October 3 this year.  When you first read them, you could solve one in 30 minutes.  How long does it take you to solve them now?

Write down what time it is now.  Once you’ve written that, begin solving.

Julie had 24 crackers.

She put them in four bags. Each bag had the same amount.

How many crackers did Julie put in each bag?

Tera made three necklaces.

She used 4 different colored beads on each of them.

She put five beads of each color on her necklace in a pattern. It was yellow, blue, green, and gold.

How many beads did Tera use to make her necklaces altogether?

Jayce had 200 Legos. He sorted them into four bins.

Each bin had the same amount.

How many Legos did Jayce put in each bin?

Max had three mini-bags of pretzels for snack.

There were five pretzels in each bag.

How many pretzels did Max have altogether?

If Max ate same amount each day for a week, how many pretzels would he have eaten then?

Write the time down when you’ve completed the problem(s).  Do you notice how you have changed as a mathematician?  I hope so.  From what I see everyday in our classroom,I know you have grown a lot.  I am proud of you and your effort to learn new things!

  1. Here’s the answer for Julie’s problem…
    if she has 4 bag with an equal amount in each bag so 6+6+6+6=24 or 6×4=24 or 12×2=24!

  2. This is my answer for Jayce’s problem…
    50,100,150,200!!
    All you had to do was count by 50’s!!
