Pdf Summary

This document is a homework set for a Math Kangaroo class aimed at level 3-4 students, containing five problems, along with their solutions.<br /><br />1. **Money Exchange Problem:** Mike has different coins totaling a certain amount, and Alex has another set of coins. To make their amounts equal, Mike needs to give Alex 10 cents. He can achieve this by giving Alex either 2 nickels or 1 dime.<br /><br />2. **Candy Bar Problem:** Bob starts with 15 silver coins, which he can exchange for gold coins or directly for candy bars. By exchanging for gold coins first, Bob maximizes his return and can get a total of 5 candy bars.<br /><br />3. **Square Fit Problem:** Mark has a large square (5x5) and needs to determine how many smaller squares (2x2) can fit inside it. He can fit 4 such squares within the larger square.<br /><br />4. **Time Management Problem:** Jack's watch is 1 hour slow, which affects his schedule before an 8:00 AM meeting. Considering the 20-minute travel time, Jack realizes he only has 10 minutes to prepare before leaving for the meeting.<br /><br />5. **Building Order Problem:** Students are tasked with determining the order and characteristics of four different colored buildings based on a set of logical clues. The correct sequence is: Yellow, Blue, Green, Red — with Green being the tallest and Red the shortest building. <br /><br />The exercise emphasizes problem-solving skills across different areas, including basic arithmetic, geometry, time management, and logic reasoning.
