Homework Level 3-4 lesson 7- Act It Out

Pdf Summary

This homework assignment from the Math Kangaroo Class Level 3-4, "Act It Out," presents several challenges that require reasoning and visualization.<br /><br />1. **Cup Flipping**: Caroline starts with four cups and, in each move, flips the leftmost cup, then moves it to the right. After 7 moves, the configuration of the cups is "down, up, up, up." This presents a sequence task requiring attention to order and pattern recognition.<br /><br />2. **Circle Formation Pieces**: The task asks which four pieces can form a complete circle. The document does not include images of the pieces or a specific answer, inviting the student to practice assembling shapes, either physically or through visualization.<br /><br />3. **Visible Faces**: The exercise requires determining which faces would be visible at the end of a certain activity or arrangement. The answer provided is faces "2, 3, and 6," implying perhaps a cube or similar object visualization task.<br /><br />4. **Figure Filling Pieces**: Students must identify which piece (out of options A, B, C, D) will not fill in a figure. The piece identified as unsuitable is "C." This engages skills in spatial reasoning and matching geometrical shapes with templates.<br /><br />5. **Gray Square Maximization with Paper Sheets**: The problem involves stacking three sheets of paper without flipping them to see how many squares can be colored gray maximally. The answer given is 8 squares, suggesting a strategy for optimizing space within overlapping shapes.<br /><br />These problems are designed to encourage students to think creatively and use practical problem-solving skills, relying on visualization and understanding of spatial relationships.
