Melbourne Time
To celebrate Literacy and Numeracy Week we walked around the school to solve problems.
We discovered that it would take 4 hexagons to cover the shape.
The numbers were 4 and 7.
We could have 50c and 50c in one hand and a $1 coin in the other hand. Each hand would have the same amount of money.
We coloured in a quarter of 16 squares and discovered that a quarter would be 4.
We discovered that many numbers could have a difference of 5. Some of the numbers we chose were 2 and 7, 1 and 6 and 13 and 18.
We worked out that the cheapest was silver, then gold, followed by white gold and the dearest was diamonds.
We found out that these four numbers would total 78 (3, 45, 19 and 11).
We had to use 4 5's to make an answer between 1 and 10. We discovered that 5+5+5-5 =10.
We had a great time wandering around our school to solve the problems.

Great work St. Luke's!
Math is every where around us - in everything we do.
Now i have challenge for you - using just four 4's can you make the numbers 0, 9, 16 & 24 ?
I will come back and check to see if you can!

Hi Mr Camm,
Thank you for your challenge. We think that we have solved it.
4+4+4+4=16
4-4+4-4=0
4x4+4+4=24
4 divided by 4+4+4=9
Please let us know how we went!
