The students were interested in a math riddle that they found strangely addicting and engaging. Wrinkled papers with numbers scribbled all over them are coming in after recess by the dozens. Here is the challenge:
Create 20 math sentences that have the answers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... 20.
Rules:
The only number you can use is the number 4. And each sentence must include four 4s, and no other number.
You may use addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square roots, fractions, etc.
Here are the answers the kids came up with:
4/4 x 4/4 = 1
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 12
4 + 4 + 4 - 4 = 8
etc.
Students have been given an additional challenge for Social Studies. If you go to our Social Studies page, students can choose an organization that supports others. Afterwards, they can fill in this google form. We will use all of the information later as students develop persuasive paragraphs.
In science, students are deep into a project where they are studying the life-cycles of different animals and creating a diary for their animal. To complete this they will be using QR codes, videos, and are retrieving vital information for their creature.
Parents, we are in desperate need for volunteers for two days:
June 23: We will be practicing our evacuation walk, and require adults to help meet our 8:1 ratio.
June 24: We would like to make up our missed trip to Fish Creek. If you can volunteer, please let us know!
Question of the Day:
What animal are you studying in Science? What is something unique about them?
