Hello! Happy Wednesday!
Today in Math we were planning a party for a group of close to 100 people and had to solve a very common party-planning dilemma...
Knowing that hot dog buns come in 8s, and the hot dogs themselves come in 12s, how many packages of each do we need to buy, without having any extra, in order to feed everyone at the party? 🤔
To solve the problem, we collaborated in randomized groups of 2 or 3 at the white boards to see how many of each item we needed to add to our shopping carts. Once we solved the first scenario, Mme Careen was ready with next steps to keep us thinking... What if the party has almost 200 people? What if we head to Costco and buy buns in packages of 16 and hot dogs in packages of 36 instead?
We all worked well in our groups and are (secretly) excited to see what sort of Math multiples problem Mme has waiting for us next! 🙂
