(a) In a row

(b) In any column

(c) In either of the diagonals

Mickey Mouse Family Math Challenge

Walt Disney needs some help labelling his cast and crew’s pigeonholes. His secretary has given him directions.

I worked this out by reading the directions and writing in the spaces.

Family Math Challenge (height)

1. The Year 4 class needed to line up in order of height (tallest to shortest) for their class photo. If the tallest student was 154cm and each person then on was 0.5cm shorter than the person in front, then how tall was the:

a) 2nd person in line? _____________153.5cm________________
b) 5th person in line? ____________152cm_________________
c) 10th person in line? ____________149.5cm_________________
(d) 17th person in line? ______________146cm_______________

I worked this out by drawing 17 faces and then writing the height down from the first person in line to the 17th person in line. I did this by taking away 5cm each time.

Family Math Challenge

This stairway is made of cubes. How many cubes would be needed to make the steps 9 steps high?

To get this answer start by drawing a diagramof the 9 steps. Once the diagram is drawn add each cub in each row together. Now you should have the answer.

The answer is 45

Family

Here is my family math challenge.

Paul has two dozen carrot cookies. He will eat three cookies on Sunday. On every day that follows, he will eat a number of cookies that is one greater than the day before. On what day will he find that he doesn’t have enough cookies to follow this procedure?

The anwser is Wednesday.

How I worked it out.

How to Make 2 Equal Squares With Six Tooth Picks?

First get 6 tooth picks. Second get 2 tooth picks and make a capital T. Next make another capital T and put it next to the other one. After that make a little t and put it in the middle. Now you should have 2 equal squares and no tooth picks left.

Quadrilaterals

Fractions

In class we have been learning about fractions. Fractions are something that is part of a hole. some common fractions are fourths, thirds, tenths and lots more. I find doing fractions fun and it can be quite challenging.

Buzz

In class for Numeracy we play a game called buzz. To play buzz you have to choose a magic number and the pople who are playing go round a circle and start counting up from 1. If you come across a number with the one you chose you say buzz if someone dosen't say buzz they are out. I have fun playing thisn game and maybe you could give it a try.
