WEEK 1: A Place to Stand
DAY 2: Forest Life
Activity 3: Weird and Wonderful [10 points]
New Zealand is just one of many countries that has amazing plants and trees. In fact, the African desert is home to some pretty incredible plants, like the cactus. Some cacti are able to survive on as little as 3 millilitres (ml) of water a day. Wow!
Let’s imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive, you must give it 3 ml of water every day.
Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?
On your blog, tell us how to solve this math 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 in millilitres (ml).
The answer is 1095ml for a normal year, and for the leap year, it is 1098ml.
Well, that brings us to the end of this post, hope you guys enjoyed and learned something, stay tuned for more post! Have a Joyful Holidays!
Hi Lyan, I really like your post about Day 2 | Activity 3 of the Summer Learning Journey. I really like your technique of using multiplication. Also, you showed people how much in 365 days (one year) and 366 days which is a Leap Year. I hope that you will have a good night. Bye!!

ReplyDeleteWell done for correctly solving the cactus maths problem. You've used a really effective strategy and it's great how you've shown your working out and explained what you've done at each step. Well done for going above and beyond and including the maths for a leap year as well.
Keep up the great blogging Lyan.
Mā te wā,
