PDF Lesson 4- Level 3-4- Make a Table- Presentation

Pdf Summary

The Math Kangaroo Class Level 3-4's Lesson 4 focuses on the problem-solving strategy of making tables. This method is particularly highlighted for its effectiveness in organizing complex data that features multiple characteristics, making it easier to identify missing pieces and detect patterns. Such a strategy ensures clarity and prevents repetition when data is not pre-provided. <br /><br />Several math problems are presented for practice:<br /><br />1. **Kasia's Berries** - This problem involves Kasia doubling the cups of berries she gives her mother over five days, with a challenge to determine the total cups given.<br /><br />2. **Digit Products vs. Sums** - A numerical challenge asks participants to identify which number among a set has the product of its digits greater than the sum of the digits.<br /><br />3. **Diana's Arrows** - Participants are tasked with calculating Diana’s third turn score based on her previous scores with a given set of arrows.<br /><br />4. **Snail in the Well** - This problem simulates the movement of a snail climbing out of a 5-meter well, with specific parameters for daily climb and nightly slide.<br /><br />5. **Peter Rabbit's Diet** - A problem involving Peter Rabbit’s weekly diet to determine the number of cabbages consumed based on carrot consumption.<br /><br />6. **Animal School Legs** - Participants are to deduce the number of lambs based on the total count of legs reported by the teacher owl.<br /><br />7. **Kangaroo's Weight** - This task involves calculating weight changes of a kangaroo across seasons from 2004 to 2008.<br /><br />8. **Bonus: Cookie Baking** - A problem about determining the number of cookies each person made over two days according to a specific multiplication pattern.<br /><br />The lesson concludes with an "Exit Ticket" encouraging students to reflect on when they would use the table-making strategy, potential challenges, and methods to overcome them. The session transitions into a "Genius Hour," allowing students to share and receive feedback on their custom problems and discuss optional homework from a past Math Kangaroo exam.
