Math Problems

Here are some math problem the students were asked to solve today.  These problems were completed by Joel.  Joel is continuing to work on the last two problems.

Allison and Abby love to make ice treats.  They pour different types of drinks in each part of the ice tray to create delicious frozen treats.  The two girls plan on filling up ¼ (3 cherry gatorade) of this tray with cherry gatorade.  They would like to fill up ⅙ (2 root beer) of the tray with root beer.  ½ (6 cherry kool-aid) of the tray will get filled up with cherry kool-aid.  The rest of the spots they will allow you fill up with your favorite drink.  How many spots do you get?  1 peppermint milk mixed with all kinds of jelly beans and chocolate sprinkles with brownies inside also with eggs.  (It is turned into a liquid.)
   How will you fill these spots?  Explain your thinking.  Pour the liquid into the tray.

You are in charge of setting up the race course for the tortoise and hare.  They would like to have a three mile race course.  This race course should have a flag at the beginning of the race and at the end of it.  Also, they would
like a flag at every ¼ mile of this course.  How many flags will they need to use?  Make a number line to show your work.  I would make a 3 inch line to start with.
Done
