70&80

70 & 90 inches

what we did was we knew that 5 multiplyed by 2x5 equaled the number 10 and the other numbers were the same way. She would be 70 & 90 inches .

x5

We multiplyed by5 & worked on all.14x5=65 & 16x5=80.

70, and 80

While you were reading the problem you should have firgured out that it was month x 5=heighth. So you would do 14 x 5=70 inches so when she is 14 months she should be 70 inches tall. When she is 16 months she should be 80 inches tall

Sydney and Caitlin

70 and 80

We found out that how ever many months she was that times 5 = how many inches she is.So then we did 14 times 5 = 70.After that we did 16times 5 =80.

70, 80, times 5

we looked at the first one and saw it was times five. we looked at the second one and found it was same as the first.The first one with a quation mark was 70 and the second was 80 in the hieght.



Josh & Misty

70@80

the anser is 70 @ 80 to the first problem.First we did 14 x5=70 then 15x5=80.





Ethan@Chase

14 months=70 in. 16 months=80 in.

We said at 2 month she is 10 in. and at 4 months she is 20 in. Then we found out that the rule is she grows 5 in. each month.
So at 14 months Dara is 70 in. and at 16 months she is 80 in.



Jonathan&Abby

70 and 80 and x5

What wethought was that the 14 one = 70 and that the 16 one =80.So that helped us figure out that in x5 = out is our answer.

Problem for January 19

Hello mathematicians! So far the blog has been going great, but there is one small problem. Someone has been getting on to the blog at home and writing rude comments. I hope that you realize that if we cannot handle blogging, then we have to stop, which is not something I want to do. So, if you made that choice, I hope you rethink your decision next time!

Anyway, on to the question...

Dara was measured each month and her growth was recorded on a chart:

Month...........................Height (in)
2........................................10
4........................................20
7........................................35
10.....................................50
14.......................................?
16.......................................?

How tall should I expect Dara to be at 14 months and at 16 months? What equation could I write to show how I figured out her heights?

Now give another example of an in/out table for another group to solve.

3/9 and 1

I knew that 2/6 is 1/3 of 1. Then I did 9/9 divided by 3 and got 3/9. Therefore Jeremy has to give 3/9 of his Kit Kat to Jason, so they both get 1 bar








Nathan & Kaity

3/9

First we drew candy bars we made the same size one was 6 pieces,other9 pieces. The 6 piece one we shaded 2 pieces of it.The other onewe shaded 2, come to find out it was to small so we shaded1 more and it was right.



Abby & Misty

3 pieces to Jason

Jermey would have to give Jason 3 pieces of Kit-Kat to make it even. In fractions Jermey gets to eat 2/6 of the Snickers. Jason gets to eat 3/9 of the Kit-Kat.

~~*!Sydney and Jenny!*~~

3/9 of the kit-kat.

Jason got 4/6 of the snickers. Jeremy got 6/9 of the kit-kat. How we found are answer is that we layed down 2/6 fraction peices then layed down as many tenths as we could. Then we estimated a little bit bigger since ninths are bigger.How we found out how much they got to keep is we subtracted 3/9 from 9/9 and had 6/9 of kit-kat for Jeremy and we subtracted 2/6 from 6/6 and had 4/6 of snickers for Jason.
Ethan,Jonathan & Maya

3/9

First we drew 2 cany bars the same size. We didvided the 1st by 6. The other one by 9 . First we colored in the the first 2 . And then colored in the top one by the same amount .So Jermy would have to give him 3/9. Jason ate 4/6 of his own and 3/9 of Jermy's Jermy ate 6/9 of his own candy bar and 2/6 of Jasons.



karen& Duey

2/6or1/3 3/9

What we did was cut a candy bar into six pieces then colored in two pieces for one boy. Our answer for that was 2/6 or 1/3. Then we took the other candy bar and cut it into nine pieces and gave three pieces to the other boy. Our answer for that one was 3/9 .

Problem for January 5

Welcome back from Winter Break! I hope we had fun relaxing and playing in the snow. Here is our problem for today.

Jason and Jeremy were eating candy bars. Jason cut his snickers bar into 6 pieces and gave 2 to Jeremy. Jeremy cut his Kit Kat into 9 pieces. How many pieces would Jeremy have to give to Jason in order to be sharing the same amount? What fraction of each candy bar did each boy eat?

Remember to post your answer to the first question as the title to the problem. Once you have finished posting your answer, include a problem similar to the one above for another group to solve when they comment on your posting.
