Great Lakes Math

Below is a group of math problems that I asked the students to solve this morning.  The completed work for these math problems were completed by Allison.

  1. Put the five great lakes in order from the most shallow to the deepest lake.
Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan and then Lake Superior.
          
  1. How many feet deeper is Lake Superior than each of the other great lakes?
     
      Great Lakes
How much more is                lake superior
Lake heron
583 more
Lake michigan
410 more
Lake erie
1,123 more
Lake orlando
531 more



   


  1. If you put the depths of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie together would they be deeper than Lake Superior?
           No it is not
  1. How much does the elevation go down from Lake Superior to the end of the Niagara Falls?
   358

5.  Write a multiplication number sentence and an addition number sentence showing the amount of fish shown above.

3x2= 6
2+2+2= 6

6.  If only ⅓ of the total fish are shown above, how many fish are in all?
18 fish
7.  If 2/6 of the fish are rainbow trout, how many rainbow trout are there in all?
Six fish








8. Joey, Austin, and Sophia went fishing with their parents.  During the day Joey caught 2/8 of all the fish caught.  Austin caught 2/6 of all the fish caught and Sophia caught ⅖ of all the fish caught during the day.  
Who caught the most fish out of the three?  
Sophia caught the most because the numerators are all the same so you go down to the denominators and the smallest denominator the larger so sophia.
Who caught the least fish?
Joey caught the  least because all of the numerators are the same so you see the least denominator and you pick that because heights are smaller than the author fractions and you can look at fraction tiles
 9.  Caulden caught 5 lake trout, 3 salmon, and 4 carp.  Joel caught 3 lake trout, 2 salmon, and 3 carp.  Maddie caught 6 lake trout, 3 salmon, and 3 carp.  
Make a line plot for the amount of each type of fish caught by these three students.  
Create a bar graph
 pictograph for this data too.  
Write three things you learn from your graph.
