Easter Maths Questions 11/4/15

Here are some more maths questions I found on the Internet. Here they are.

1. Shelby and Grace went to an Easter egg party at their friend's house. Grace found 38 chocolate eggs during the egg hunt. She gave 1/2 of the eggs to Shelby. How many eggs did she have left, and how many did she give to her brother?

2. Bart won the jelly bean estimation contest at his classroom's Easter party. He had 28 Easter eggs, and he gave 7 away to his friend Rob. How many eggs does he have left?

3. Josh painted 3 dozens of eggs for the Easter show contest. Then he hid them and told the other children at Sunday School to look for them in the big egg hunt. They did not find 6 of the eggs. What was the total number of the eggs coloured? What was the total number of the eggs that were found?

I have already solved the answers to these questions, but I will leave them for you to solve. Please comment your answers and strategies that you used to solve these questions.
ENJOY!!!

Recount: What I did today 10/4/15

Today, on Friday 10 April, my Dad, sister and I went to the doctors at Sylvia Park. We got there at about 9:30. It was really busy there, and we were waiting for over 2 hours to get seen by the doctor. Today, there were only 2 doctors on duty, which was probably why it was so crowded.

After we were seen by the doctor, we went to the chemist to get our medicine. We went to the Chemist in Glen Innes, at Mayfair Place. Then we went home and waited until 12:15 to go to the Dentist for my dad.

When we got there, the receptionist asked him to sign some forms. When he completed the forms, she took him to the dentist, in his office to talk. Then he started the examination.

When he finished the examination, he told us to come back at 2:15. Then we went back home. When we got home, we got something to eat. Then I started playing on my new guitar. When I got bored, I turned the TV on, and changed the channel to 100 (Disney Channel). The show on was a show called Girl Meets World. (One of my favourite TV shows). Almost every episode has a lesson as well. This time, the lesson was about being yourself, and not being afraid of who you are.

When it was time to go, I got some books, and put it into a bag. Then we left. When we got there, I sat on one of the comfortable couches, and started reading my book. Then it was time to go.

When we got back home, I started watching TV. The show on was Good Luck Charlie, then another episode of Girl Meets World, then Liv and Maddie. I watched those shows, and then went outside to play for a little while, before coming back in to watch The Next Step.

Then I started doing my chores. I did the dishes and the vacuum, and cleaned up my room.

Today was very tiring, and I enjoyed it, because I got to watch Girl meets world, read my books in peace, and relax.

Maths Problems Site. 10/04/2015

Earlier today, I was playing a maths word problem game I found on Google. Here are one of the questions from the site.

Memorial Elementary School is having a school play. 9 students from each of the 11 classrooms will be chosen to be in the play. How many students will be in the play altogether?

The question and answer is 9 x 11= 99, so 99 is the answer.

What I did on Good Friday.

On Friday, the 3 of April 2015, it was Good Friday. Today we slept in. When we woke up, we made breakfast. We had eggs, bacon and toast. Then we went into the lounge and started watching TV. We watched TV almost all day. All day, we were at home.

It was so fun staying at home that day, because I got to sleep in.

Malama Honua Voyage

Last week on Wednesday Room 7,9 and 10 from Glenbrae School walked to Point England Beach to see the Malama Honua waka. We had to walk in two lines till we got to the shortcut near the Pools. When all of us got to the shortcut, we turned into it and then kept walking till we saw the beach. 

When we got there, we saw heaps of schools. In the sea, we saw Hokulea, the name of the Waka. The people aboard Hokulea travel all over the world, using traditional methods to track where they were going. 

We sat down, and then the visitors came, and the leader did a haka to welcome them. Then we stood up and sang a song for them. People then started praying in maori. 

Schools then came one by one to shake hands and say goodbye. Then some of the House leaders from the school stayed behind. We each got a plate of food, and did a fun activity.

Maths Problem 1/4/15

Today for maths we got this question from Mrs Tofa that we had to solve. This is it:

Piri, Maia, and Ollie are planning to make piklets for afternoon tea. The recipie needs 3/4 of a cup of milk to make a batch of 25 piklets. How many cups of milk do they need to make 100 piklets?
They discover that they have 5 1/2 cups of milk. How many batches of piklets are they able to make?

I didn't solve it yet, but I am sure that someone else in my group solved it.
