Thanks for all of your work during math class today!

If you want to work on some math problems that kids in our class wrote, here is a document with them: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rwPU2aB6ibomX21gPlkV7tolgX1zIZsKnUUjwLtvloA/edit?usp=sharing

There are some tricky ones and some simpler ones (one even goes into the thousands, but you can totally solve it yourself!).

Try writing your work and your answers on a piece of paper or in your notebook.

Good luck!

Good morning friends!

Let's start off with the questions from last Friday and from yesterday. I had asked: "Would you rather live in a cabin on a mountain or on an island?"

Here is what you said:
Island Because they are cool.
Island Because I like beaches.
Island I really like to swim.
Island Because the mountain does not have any water.
Island Because I can go swimming and fishing.
Island I would like to be able to go swimming in the water.
Island Because it’s warm!
Island Because I can go swimming every single second of the day.
Island I like the water.
Mountain Because they are cool.
Mountain So I could go skiing all year long.

Here are the kinds of bread you have made:
Honey wheat, Irish soda bread, original bread and pie, banana bread, zucchini bread, and whole wheat.

When I asked about notebooks, most people wanted one for both drawing and writing:

both drawing and writing	because I like drawing and writing
both drawing and writing	So I could draw about my writing.
writing	Because I do not like drawing as much!
both drawing and writing	Because when I don’t want to do not do writing l can do drawing
both drawing and writing	Because I like making comics
both drawing and writing	Because you can make a picture about your story.
drawing	Because I love drawing
drawing	I would rather draw then write.
drawing	I don’t like writing & drawing you can be creative
both drawing and writing	Because I like both
drawing	I do not like writing!

Here is our question for today:

Rhys has a math question for you to solve:

The Ninth Nugget
Josh found 5 nuggets. Ruth Rose found 3 nuggets. Dink found 2 nuggets. Each other person found 2. All together, there are 50 nuggets. How many other people are there?

If you figure it out, send me your answer and I will share it with Rhys to check!

Our survey today. It is a tricky one because you have to write your own story problem!
