We Have a Winner!!!

Congratulations to Chris in 7-3 for correctly answering the Math Problem of the Week.  We had 10 students submit responses but only one correct response.  Incorrect answers included 144 eggs (two responses), 36 eggs (one response), 432 eggs (two responses), 12 eggs (three responses) and 134 eggs (one response).

In the spirit of math learning, I will let Chris explain to anyone who wants to know the answer how he got the correct response.  I really like seeing the work that some of you provided, as it shows the strategy you applied.  Some of you had the right idea, but a wrong application of the math.

Enjoy your pizza tomorrow, Chris!  Look for a new problem of the week tomorrow on the blog and in the front foyer.

Red and Black Day at Hagersville Secondary School

The Math Problem of the Week #2

Three hens laid 3 eggs in 3 days.

How many eggs will 12 hens lay in 12 days?

After one week, no one has yet to solve the problem below, our first Math Problem of the Week.  I commend the students that have approached me to submit answers, but unfortunately, none of the responses I received were correct. I will still accept any responses but there's a new problem for this week (see above).  When you think you know the answer, write your name and homeroom number on a piece of paper, along with the answer, and bring it to Mr. Restoule General in the resource room.

Every Thursday, Mr. Restoule General will put all the correct answers into a draw and pull out a winner. The winner will receive a free slice of pizza on Friday.  Correct answers will stay in the draw for future prizes.

Good luck!!  You have until next Thursday morning (September 26th) to solve this problem.  I will still give a prize for anyone who solves last week's problem (below).
