Class Math Problem - Going to the River Run Centre
Here is our class problem we worked on today. Practice this question :)
22 students and their teacher are going on a trip to the River Run Centre. Three parent helpers will drive the students.
Parent #1 can take 4 people at a time.
Parent #2 can take 5 people at a time.
Parent #3 can take 6 people at a time.
How many total trips will it take to get all the students and their teacher to the River Run Centre?
Challenge Question:
Parent #1 drives to the River Run Centre in 15 minutes; parent #2 takes 20 minutes; parent #3 takes 25 minutes. How long will it take to get everyone to the RRC?
*remember to think about the point, process and comment.

Challenge: Nature Walk and Observations [#008]
It's almost spring! With an adult, go for a nature walk! Your walk can take place in a park, on a nature trail, or even in your own back yard or playground -- all you need to do is go outdoors and observe what you see!

Login to Tumblebooks Library and find a book you would like to read/listen to/watch. I like Scaredy Squirrel by Melanie Watt. You can choose any story you wish.
In case you forgot, your login and passwords are:
After you have finished with the story, you can try the story quiz, then complete the following questions on a separate piece of paper.
You can also type this on the same website, then send it to a printer (but this might be difficult to find--look for TumbleBook Report).

Scratch
You will need an adult to help you with this.
About Scratch
Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.
As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

For each solution, be sure to explain why you divided the iguanas the way you did.
