Maths Week 11- Word Problems

This week we are looking hard at word problems and how to solve them.

This website has great problem solving activities that break down the steps. Make sure you read the instructions carefully!




Try these tricky Problem solving questions (a bit different from normal word problems)! You may need to get an extra brain on board to help.
Write the answers in your homework book and show Mrs Carryer for a Dojo point!
1. Compare different pay scales. Decide if it is better to receive $300 a week or to be paid hourly at a rate of $7.50 per hour. What factors could affect your decision?

Now try to work this out...
2. Three watermelons and two cantaloupes weigh 32 kg. Four watermelons and three cantaloupes weigh 44 kg. All watermelons weigh the same and all cantaloupes weigh the same. What is the weight of two watermelons and one cantaloupe?

Let's Cook!


Year 4 Menu and Cooking Show assignment
Due Monday 7th April

To show our learning from the term we are designing healthy menus that incorporate seasonal fruits and vegetables. We are going to use the drama skills that we have been developing to create a film that shows our learning.

 1. Design a menu with starter, main and desert.

Describe each dish on your menu using interesting vocabulary that will entice your diners to choose that dish.

Each dish must have at least one seasonal fruit or vegetable in it. We will write this in class.

 2. Choose one dish off your menu to cook in your 'cooking show'.

You will film yourself making the dish in the style of a cooking show. You must edit your film ready to share with the class. Parents can assist with this.

You may work with a buddy to create the cooking show but you both must appear in the film.

3. We will celebrate our learning with an in-class film festival and shared lunch where parents are invited to come watch the films.

  Success Criteria For your film

-Present with a clear, confident voice
-Face the camera while presenting
-Whatever you are filming needs to be the centre of the shot. Frame your shot carefully.
-Use appropriate language while presenting (such as the interesting adjectives we have used in writing)
- Use a range of camera shots including an extreme close up of your seasonal food
- Clearly show and explain the steps needed to create your dish
- Give some information about your dish, why you chose it and the ingredients you chose
-Edit your show so that it is succinct and interesting.
-You may want to add text over the footage to list your ingredients or steps.
