Day 3 week 2 = The midnight zone = Activity 3 SLJ

On your blog, tell us how you will solve this maths problem. You can write your answer in words, use a Sketchpad image or post a video explaining how you would figure it out. Be sure to give us your final answer.

500 Kg = squid
25 Kg = Adult
15 Kg = child

Adults - - > 25 x 20 = 500

I decided adults should carry the squid. You don't need kids, but to combine.

children -->15 x 30 = 450
Adults ------->25 x 2 = 50

add the two quals 500 yay

Hi Eden!

This is some great Maths you have done here!
I am wondering what technique you used to work out 15 x 30? Did you use the place value method? Maybe an algorithm?

I've seen the colossal squid in Te Papa and it is pretty huge - I would not be surprised if it took this many people to move it! Have you seen it before? ...it's pretty cool!
Do you think you would have liked to be on the team moving the squid?... might have been a messy job!

I was just told about a strong man alled Eddie Hall - He won the World's Strongest Man 2017 and he can lift 500kg's all by himself... maybe Te Papa should have hired him to move the squid!!

Nga mihi,
Ellee :)
