EXTRA CREDIT

Okay, ladies and gentleman, here are the extra credit problems I promised you.  Although I would love for you to practice solving all of them, you can only share your solution for ONE problem.  In your comments/response you need to not only share the answer you found, but tell us HOW you solved it.  The more detail you share, the more possible points you can earn.  Good luck.

1.  There are 240 calories in a can of soda.  How many calories are in 6 cans of soda?

3.  The pickle factory produces 780 jars of pickles per day. How many jars of pickles do they produce in a week?

4.  There is 135 feet of making tape on a roll.  Henry has 6 rolls. How many feet of masking tape does he have in all?

5.  A jet plane can travel 567 miles per hour.  How many miles could it travel in 4 hours?

6.  An adult panda can eat 138 pounds of bamboo each day. How many pounds of bamboo can a panda eat in a week?

7.  The company took 59 employees to a management conference across the country. Each round trip plane ticket cost $799. What was the total amount needed to take the employees to the conference?

8.  A popular rock band has scheduled 29 cities for the upcoming tour. Their goal is to sell 350 tickets for each show. How many tickets in all need to be sold for them to meet that goal?

Fall Break

I hope you are all enjoying your time off this week.  I also hope that there is reading going on during the week. 

Just a reminder that next week we are going to the Frist to see an exhibit on Egypt.  Students will need a sack lunch that day.  Then on Friday we will have our Fun Run.  Students will need to bring in  a drink and snack.  The main course will be hotdogs.  Remember that students are allowed to get donations and pledges for their Fun Run participation.  That information was sent home last week.

Also if you shop at Walmart and use Kellogg's products, check out this link to learn how you can get free books.   http://www.scholastic.com/kellogg/

Have a great week everyone!
