Dear P7s,

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you enjoyed your Joe Wicks workout this morning – let me know how you did below!

Let’s have another Maths Challenge – Comment below with your answers and remember that if you want more you can always check out the University of Waterloo website here!

At Biscuit Hill Primary School, Chip and his sister, Charlotte, have decided that they want to make cookies for all of the  P6/P7 students in their school. The recipe that they found makes enough chocolate chip cookies of 7 cm diameter for 16 people.

Recipe

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

300 g chocolate chips

Classes

P6/5: 25 students

P6A: 29 students

P6B: 30 students

P7A: 31 students

P7B: 30 students

P7c: 28 students

a) How many batches should Chip and Charlene make so that they make the exact number of cookies needed for all of the students in the P6/P7 classes?

b) They decide to make a whole number of batches so they have some extra cookies to save for later, and one each for the teachers. What quantity of each ingredient in the recipe will they need?

 

Now it is also Tuesday so that means its time for a Free Write prompt!

Write a story about this picture (I got this from the New York Times website):

Try to use these words:

mechanical	tinkering	flashes	current	cybernetics
scientist	glowing	electricity	experimental	advanced
hum	sparks	inventor	inventive	goggles

Post your story below! I can’t wait to read it!

Lots of love,

Mrs Lamb 🙂
