Three Math Questions

Hello,

We just finished a great lunch hour of Grade 6 basketball and I promised the students I would have three Math questions on the blog by 4 PM, for them to solve, so I decided to post a little bit early today.

Hopefully everyone received my message about the church retreat being re-scheduled from Friday to next Tuesday. There is no need to fill out a new permission slip. As long as you have sent in a signed form, your child is covered for next week.

This morning, we completed our feedback sessions, discussions and revisions for our Fighting for Fairness Biography group work. The students made some great changes, and included more detail and examples in their written work.

Next, we worked on a variety of Math patterning problems to help the students prepare for next Monday's test. The students asked some quality questions to help clear up misconceptions, and worked very hard to complete the problems.

The homework for tonight is to complete the following three questions in their Math notebooks:

1. What is the 100th term in the following sequence? 1, 5, 9, 13 ...

2. Craig is making pizzas. He puts 5 pepperoni pieces on the first pizza, 7 pepperoni pieces on the second pizza and 9 pepperoni pieces on the third pizza. If Craig continues to follow this pattern, how many pizzas can he make, if he started with 80 pieces of pepperoni?

3. If 6 x n + 14 = 62, then n = ?

Good luck. Have a good night.

Mr. Skinner
