Extra challenge: Write (or tell) a story that includes as many of the blue items from your list as possible.

Extra Challenge: How many different solutions can you find?

Directions:

-Create new words by joining letters that touch along a side or diagonal.

-You many not use a letter cube twice in a word.

KRYPTO Rules:

-Create 4 lines of equations OR use Order of Operations to show a single equation.

Example Target = 5

Number Cards = 2, 15, 5, 10, 23

23-10=13

15-13=2

2+5=7

On a piece of paper, list as many OTHER uses for a paperclip as you can think of. Share your list with a family member or friend.

1. Research an animal you'd like to learn more about.

2. Create a riddle using facts from your research.

3. Make sure the facts you include in the riddle lead to ONLY ONE correct animal answer.

How to play:

Use all four numbers once each to make 1 through 10 using the given operations.

Hint:

You can use Order of Operations to write one equation OR you can write lines of equations with an = separating each equation.

Objective: Score the most points while clearing the playing area by using the letters on the cards to spell words.

To Play: Click on each card in sequence to spell a word. Once you have completed the word, click the Enter button.  If there is an empty space, you may move a card from a stack to the empty space.  To do this, simply click on the empty space then click on the card you want to move.  Unused letters will count against you.

Draw a picture to go with your math problem.

Getting Started

If the hexagon has a value of 3/4, what could the value of the other shapes be? How do you know?

Follow-up 1

What are other possible values for the set of shapes? What patterns or rules do you notice?

Follow-up 2

The left side of the mobile now has a total value of 1/3. If the right side of the mobile has a value less than 1, what are some possible values for the trapezoid and hexagon?

-Use the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 in each row and column. You may not repeat a 1, 2, 3, and 4 in any row or column.

-The dark lines show cages. The cells in each cage must add, subtract, multiply, or divide to get the target number. The math symbol in each cage shows you which math operation you must use.

-A single-cell cage shows you the number that must be placed there. This is a good place to begin your puzzle.

Challenge: Write your own set of analogies for fall. Each pair of words you write should have the same relationship. For example:

leaf : tree :: petal : flower

(a leaf is part of a tree and a petal is part of a flower)

• Player 1 chooses a number on the game board by clicking on it. The square will be colored blue, as shown for 12. Player 1 receives 12 points for this choice.
• Player 2 then clicks on all the proper factors of Player 1’s number. The proper factors of a number are all the factors of that number, except the number itself. For example, the proper factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. Although 12 is also a factor of 12, it is not considered a proper factor. All of the proper factors that Player 2 selects will be colored red. Player 2 will receive 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16 points for selecting all of the proper factors.
• Players reverse roles. On the next turn, Player 2 colors a new number and gets that many points, and Player 1 colors all the factors of the number that are not already colored and receives the sum of those numbers in points.
• The players take turns choosing numbers and coloring factors.
• If a player chooses a number with no uncolored factors remaining, that player loses a turn and does not get the points for the number selected.
• The game ends when there are no numbers remaining with uncolored factors.
• The player with the greater total when the game ends is the winner.

Katha climbs 2 feet each day. The tree is 36 feet high. How many days will it take Katha to climb Balveer the Big?

How many different ways can you solve the problem?

Extensions:

-What if Katha climbs 3 feet each day?

-What if Katha climbs 4 feet each day?

Balveer the Big is 36 feet tall. Katha climbs 7 feet every day, but slides back down 2 feet every night. At this rate, how many days would it take Katha to climb to the top of the tree?

Can you create an algebraic expression to show how you solved the problem?

Extension:

-Every day Katha is twice as fast at climbing as the day before. If she climbs 1 foot on the first day, how many days will it take her to reach the top?

Directions: Using the digits 0-9 at most one time each, fill in the boxes below to make a true statement.

This is a daily game with a different card each day.

Figure out how the words go together and then complete the analogy with the same relationship.

Example:

poodle: dog :: parakeet : ________

A poodle is a TYPE of dog, so .....

A poodle is a TYPE of dog, and a parakeet is a TYPE of bird.

Challenge: Think of as many reasons as possible and explain your thinking!

Challenge: Find more than one correct answer.

Hint: Use colored blocks or cubes to help you. For example:

snowman = red cubes

present = blue cubes

fox = yellow cubes

Rules

• Each guess is a calculation.

• You can use 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + - * / or =.

• It must contain one “=”.

• It must only have a number to the right of the “=”, not another calculation.

• Standard order of operations applies, so calculate and / before + and - eg. 3+25=13 not 25!

• If the answer we're looking for is 10+20=30, then we will accept 20+10=30 too (unless you turn off 'commutative answers' in settings).

If your guess includes, say, two 1s but the answer has only one, you will get one color tile and one black.

Tiles will only go green if the number is in the correct position or when a full guess is rearranged as a winning commutative answer.

Hint: Use colored blocks or cubes to help you. For example:

gingerbread = brown cubes

boots = green cubes

deer = white cubes

penguin = blue cubes

Ornaments = _____

Mug = _____

Snowman = _____

Snow globe = _____

• Role of the Writer: Who are you as the writer? A movie star? The President? A plant?

• Audience: To whom are you writing? Another student?  Yourself? A company?

• Format: In what format are you writing? A diary entry? A newspaper?  A postcard?

• Topic: What are you writing about?

Solve each 4x4 Sudoku puzzle by filling in the empty boxes with either a tree, ornament, candy cane, or hat. A picture can not be repeated in any row, column, or cage (outlined by the dark lines).

Hint: Use the weights on the scale to help you.

Create a logic grid on a piece of notebook paper or print the document.

Use the clues to help you find the one correct answer.

-Each guess must be a valid word. Hit the enter button to submit.

-After each guess, the color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the word.

Green: The letter is in the correct spot.

Yellow: The letter is in the puzzle but it's in the wrong spot.

Gray: The letter is not in the puzzle.

Remember to use Order of Operations:

-parenthesis or other grouping symbols

-exponents

-multiplication/division (whichever comes first left to right)

-addition/subtraction (whichever comes first left to right)
