Congratulations to Kelsey, Sommer, Connie, David and Kyle who all earnt housepoints for last week’s challenge!

Here is your challenge for this week (you can also click http://www.transum.org/software/SW/Starter_of_the_day/starter_November5.asp to see a more colourful version!)

FIREWORDS!!!

Firewords are Fireworks which display words in the night sky. You can buy Firewords to make any word but the cost depends on the letters in the word. A costs 1p, B costs 2p etc. Which Firewords will cost exactly £1 ?
You can use this table to help you:

For example: EXCELLENT = 5p + 24p + 3p + 5p + 12p + 12p + 5p + 14p + 20p = £1.00

For every word you make you can earn 5HPs! Leave a comment below with your answers.

Well done to all of those who got last week’s Maths Challenge correct (I know lots of you in my class did – wel done!) so 5HPs to each of you!

Here is this week’s problem with an Easter Theme…

Amy, Beth and Chad each recieved a 200g Easter Egg for Easter. Amy ate 3/5 of hers, Beth ate 4/9 of hers and Chad ate 5/10 of his egg.

Who ate the most of their egg?

Comment below with your answer and you could earn yourself an EGGcellent 10 HPS!

Well done to those of you who tried last week’s Maths Challenge – anybody who got a time of under 15 seconds can have 2 HPs!

Now we are back to proper maths challenges and here is your next one…

I’VE LOST MY MARBLES!

You have three bags each containing two marbles. Bag A contains 2 white marbles, Bag B contains two black marbles and Bag C contains one white and one black marble.

You pick a bag at random and take out one marble. It is a white marble.

What is the probability that the remaining marble from the same bag is also white?

Leave a comment with your answer below! ( If you are trying to write a fraction you can use the / symbol e.g. 4/5)

Well done to Chloe Brs and Tom who both gave a correct answer to last week’s maths challenge – 5HPs to each of you!

Below is a maths challenge with a bit of a difference. Your challenge is to look at the picture and say the colour of the word, NOT what the word says.

For example for…
GREEN
…you would say “red” not “green” as the word is written in red.

Time how long it takes you to say every word correctly and then post your time below!

Well done to all those who attempted last week’s challenge, with Demi, Megan and Andie earning 5HPs each!

Now time for this week’s maths challenge…

At the dance competition people had to dance in different groups of people.

When they danced in couples, one person was left over.

When they danced in threes, one person was left over.

When they dance in fours, one person was left over.

When they danced in fives, one person was left.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE AT THE DANCE?
