Tell us how you would solve this tricky maths problem. Be sure to also post your final answer in days or weeks.

Activity 3:

Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?

The question is asked how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?  They found 7 different kind of moulds and it takes 5 days for the mould to be removed.

My answer - 7 x 5 = it would take 35 days to remove all the mould from the classroom.

Day 5

Tell us what you think about this rule and why you think it!

Activity 1:

I think this situation is very unfair, because some families can’t afford many things so they have to catch fish to sell them, if they were caught overfishing they have to pay $100,000. I think the cost for overfishing should be $10,000 instead of $100,000.

Day 4

Tell us which of the three options you would take to explore Milford Sound. Walking, Helicopter, Boat cruise.

Activity 1:

I would definitely choose walking because it is a good workout, helicopters are cool but you can’t discover a lot of things  in the sky and the boat cruise sounds fascinating but they just have to investigate things on the boat looking at the awesome view.

Give us a list of three to five options for the name of this geothermal pool

Activity 2:

• Green lake *

• Neon green pool

Write a short story about what you think is happening in the picture

Activity 3:

 

This lady is taking a selfie with a phenomenal view, she is on a corner of a building taking a photo, I think she is at paris because paris is surrounded with water, she is holding her phone with her right hand taking the selfie. I strongly think that she is a tourist visiting paris, the extraordinary houses at the back are included in the photo, there are boats around the water. In this picture the lady choose a very high building to take the picture because the people are like a couple of ants. She is tilting a bit almost like she is leaning on the houses, the beautiful blue colour is shimmering from the sun which makes the photo magical and I think it might be summer or spring. That is what I see in the photo.
