Today we worked on the following Math problem in pairs:

Sarah plans to sell cookies. She bought the ingredients listed in the chart. She baked 40 cookies. Calculate Sarah’s profit if she sold each cookie for 50¢.

Eggs	$2.53
Salt	$1.86
Sugar	$3.21
Chocolate Chips	$3.42
Flour	$2.84

 

This was a challenging problem for most students because it is a multi-step problem and involved the use of different operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication - if they chose). In addition, students were not permitted to use calculators. If you would like to challenge your child at home, these are the types of problems we are doing in class. We will be working on more addition and subtraction questions tomorrow in class. Students will most likely have homework tomorrow night since we have library and Religion tomorrow afternoon.

Have a great evening and enjoy the lovely weather!
