Lesson 7 - Level 1-2- Guess and Check- Homework

Pdf Summary

This document is a homework lesson titled "Guess and Check" from a Math Kangaroo class for Level 1-2 students. The lesson includes a series of problems meant to engage young learners in logical reasoning and basic problem-solving skills using given numbers.<br /><br />Problem 1 involves identifying which one of the numbers from a given set (2, 4, 5, 6, 8) is not used in a particular equation. The solution to this problem is that the number 5 is not used.<br /><br />Problem 2 asks the student to determine which number should be placed in a box, given the numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7. The correct number to complete the sequence or pattern is 7.<br /><br />In Problem 3, students must fill in circles with the numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 so that the sum of numbers in a row equals the sum in a column. The correct number to complete this is 5.<br /><br />Problem 4 involves distributing cards into two boxes so that the sums of numbers in each box are equal. The numbers that must be in the box with the number 4 are 5 and 6.<br /><br />Problem 5 challenges Martin to arrange the numbers 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10 in squares such that the sum of numbers in each row and column is identical. In this arrangement, the number in the central square is 9.<br /><br />Finally, Problem 6 encourages students to create their own similar mathematical puzzle and then challenge a family member to solve it, promoting the creation of new problems where the sums of rows and columns match.<br /><br />This exercise promotes critical thinking and enjoyment of math for younger students.
