Monday, January 20

We continued our math problems related to multiples that we began last week as our morning work.

We have started gymnastics in gym.  Anyone with long hair needs to have an elastic to tie it back. In music we did a movement activity to music.

Constable Gemma came and talked with about being safe when we are online or using technology.  

In math, we were presented with the following problem

Nick the Knight, came upon a castle inhabited by a very strange wizard.  

• The castle has 12 huge doors, each guarded by a fierce dragon and numbered from one through 12.  
• The wizard has a strict rule about the use of the doors.  Knights may enter through any door except #1.  
• They must take note of the door as they enter, because they are only able to leave through a door whose number is a factor or multiple of the number of the entry door. 
• Knights may not exit through the same door they entered.  If a knight tries to leave through the wrong door, the dragons are to throw him in the moat with the crocodiles.  

How many ways can Nick safely enter and exit this castle?

Thanks to Lucas (Hubble Space Telescope) and Lincoln (Mission to Mars) who completed projects related to space at home and shared them with the class.  Here are the 2 videos that were shared that were sources of information for one presentation.
