Our school has a fun new project and we would love you to be a part of it. The whole school is going to work on a math problem together. Every month our school will have a different problem.
For December, we have a problem about proportional reasoning. Of course, it will be simplified a bit for the younger students, but we thought you'd find the harder version of the problem a fun challenge. The problem originally involved turkey because it is almost Christmas and it is very traditional to eat turkey at Christmas in Canada. However, we've changed it to lamb to make it more appropriate to Kenya.
Here's what we'd like you to do: 1) work on the problem together on a chalkboard. 2) solve the problem on the chalkboard, showing all your work 3) Take a digital picture of your solution 4) post the picture of your solution, maybe with a written explanation of how you solved it, on the blog
We will take some pictures of some of the solutions that Albion Students came up with and post them on the blog.
We hope you enjoy this challenge and we look forward to seeing your solutions.
