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.
