MathNet 4 Kids Project 2001/2002 |
We have partnered with another third grade class to exchange monthly math challenges using email. This project allows us to meet two of our curriculum requirements; identifying and using basic computer communication systems (PA State Standard 3.7.3) and practicing mathematical problem solving and communication (PA State Standard 2.5.3). Math challenges we receive and send will be posted below. We hope you will enjoy trying them with us! |

From Ms. Kenoyer's Third Grade: There are 35 students in the Reading Club. They are planning a breakfast party to celebrate everyone having read 100 books. They have decided to make muffins for everyone. They have $5.00 to spend on muffin mix. The box of muffin mix said it would make 12 muffins. Each box of muffin mix is $1.25 (there is no sales tax). Will the club be able to make enough muffins for everyone? |
From Mrs. Dingman's Third Grade: Ashley saw this ad in a computer magazine: Come INTER-the-NET with us. FREE 10-DAY Trial! Get 1 minute of free time the first day, 2 minutes of free time the second day, 4 minutes of free time the third day, 8 minutes of free time the fourth day, 16 minutes on the fifth day, and so on. "What good is 1 minute, 2 minutes, or even 4 minutes of time online?" Ashley wondered. "I would need a lot more time than that to find out how good this service could be!" If Ashley signed up for the 10-day trial of Internet service, how many minutes of free time would she get on the 10th day? |

Charlene's mom has agreed to let her do her holiday shopping using the Internet. Charlene has budgeted $100 for gifts this year, and she wants to buy presents for her mom, her dad, her little brother, her best friend, and her teacher. With the rest of her money, she will buy materials to make holiday cards for other friends and family. Charlene has two requirements for the Internet sites at which she will shop. First, they must abide by the rule that Internet sites not charge tax on purchases. Second, they must offer free shipping and handling for holiday shoppers.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ms. Kenoyer's class is unable to continue the MathNet project with us for the remainder of the 2001/2002 school year. We will partner with another third grade class next year. We wish Ms. Kenoyer's students every continued success in fourth grade! |
