Hi Ngeya students,
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.

DECEMBER PROBLEM OF THE MONTH:
The chef at a hotel is cooking a Christmas dinner for the guests. He wants to roast a lamb in the large hotel oven. The lamb weighs 19.75 kilograms. It takes 20 minutes to cook 500g of this lamb. Based on this information, how many minutes does it take to cook the whole lamb?
Welcome to Ngeya Primary School
Ngeya Primary School was started in 1989 with only 184 pupils. In recent years, the population has greatly increased due to the introduction of Free Primary Education in 2003, internal displacement after the elections of 2002 and 2007, and population growth in Maai Mahiu town.
Currently the population stands at 1700 students with 300 desks, 18 classrooms (most unfinished), and 12 teachers. The school has a lunch feeding program provided by Kenya Kids Can. The classrooms have no electricity, and currently there are no computers at the school. This blog is updated from Kenya by Ngeya Primary students working on two donated laptops which are brough into the school twice per week by CTC Rafiki Link educators.
On this blog you will find posts from Ngeya Primary school and partners from around the world. Read and enjoy!
