Level 4 Rate and Ratio

This resource is about showing how to solve problems involving rates and ratios

Show how you work these problem out.

1.  Mara has 4 books for every 3 books Chloe has.

Chloe has 12 books.  How many books does Mara has?

4 : 3

Chloe 3 x 4 = 12 book

Mara 4 x 4 = 16  

2.  Sam gets $15 every 5 weeks for doing work around the house.

Show how to work out how many weeks it will take Sam to save $60

15 : 5

15 x 4 = 60

5 x 4 = 20

$60 = 20 weeks

3.  There are 6 boys for every 4 girls in a hockey team.

There are 10 girls in the team

Show how to work out how many boys are in the team.

6:4

4 + 4 = 8

half 4 = 2

8 + 2 = 10

6 + 6 = 12

half 6 = 3

12 + 3 = 15

15 boys

Level 4 Division

DIVISION WITH A REMINDER

A toy company distributes a range of toys to shops.  The shops need to get equal numbers of toys. Sometimes there are toys left over.  This is called a remainder.  

The toy company needs to know:

1.  how many toys each shop gets; and

2.  how many toys remain (if there any)

a.  Show how you could divide 298 trolleys equally between 4 shop

half of 298 is 149

half of 149 is 74

each shop will get 74 toys

the remainder is 2 toys  

B.   SHOW HOW YOU DIVIDE 629 TRICYCLES EQUALLY BETWEEN 6 SHOPS.

600 divide by 6 =100

24 divide by 6 = 4

the Remainder is 5  

C.   Show how you could divide 567 robots equally between 8 shops.

560 divide by 8 = 70

7 Remainders

D.   Show how you could divide 347 aeroplanes equally between 7 shops.

350 divided by 7 = 50

350 - 7 = 343

343 divide by 7 = 49

the remainder  will be 4

Level 3 Addition and Subtraction

Show how you solve these number problems.  

1.  Maraea is saving to buy a cat.  In 3 weeks she has saved $9, $56 and $72.

Show how to work out how much she has saved altogether.

70+50=120

9+6+2= 17

120+17=137

2.  Tom saves his money each month to buy a dog.  In 4 months he has saved $36, $78, $203, and $123.  Show how to work out how much he has saved al together.

36+78+203+123

3+3+6+8=20

20+20=40

70+30=100

200+100=300

440+100+300=440

3.   Te Ao is saving to buy a horse.  So far she has saved $17, $160, $72, and $148.  Show how to work out how much she has saved altogether.

17+160+72+148

148-8=140

72+8=80

160+140=300

10+7+80=97

300+97= 397

4.  Petelo has $ 147 as a present.  He spent $78 at the shop.  How much has he got left?

147-78

70-40=30

100-30=70

Recount

Today I had a fun experience in the pool.  As I  walked into the pool it was nice and warm.  First I had to try and streamlined across but I only managed to streamlined half.  Streamlining was hard because I had to try and hold my breath for a long time.  After it was time to freestyle I didn't know how to free but I tried.  It was very tiring free styling.   

Then I had to do a starfish a starfish Is when you have to spread out your arm and legs as a starfish and hold you breath under water.  I held my breath the longest out of everyone.  Finally I had free time to do anything in the pool I tried to do a handstand until I got out of the pool.  I got out and it was very cold but I still had a fun Experience.
