Predict: I predict this question will involve money.
Read: Which deal costs less per litre?
A)$32 for 4L or
B)$8.50 for 1L
Clarify: Nothing
Solve:
Well, first I divided 32 by 4, because that get me to see how much 1L was worth, and that was $8. When I looked at the second option, it was $8.50, and strait away I knew that A was the right answer.
Predict: I predict that the problem will involve division.
Read: Fill in the missing number. 36 divided by equals 4.
Clarify: Nothing to clarify.
Big question: Fill in the missing number.
Solve: I found this question easy because I could easily just swap the missing number and the 4 around to make it 36 divided by 4 equals… and the answer is 9.
Predict: I predict that this question will involve adding and multiplying.
Read: Fill in the missing number. 8 x = 56
Clarify: Nothing to clarify.
Big Question: Fill in the missing numbers.
Solve: First, i decided to use inverse operations, and divide the numbers by each other, to get the same number. The answer was 7, so 8 x 7=56.
Predict: I predict that this problem will involve division.
Read: Fill in the missing number. What divided by 5 equals 9?
Clarify: Nothing to clarify.
Big Question: Fill in the missing number.
Solve: To solve it, I realised that all it was some simple inverse operations and all I really needed to do was times 5 by 9 to get the answer 45. So the equation was 45 divided by 5 equals 9.
Predict: I predict it will be about counting.
Read: The sum of four whole numbers is 94. What are the four numbers?
Clarify: Nothing to clarify.
Solve: Well first I tried to start with a number in the 20’s but over 20 and under 25. So my first try was to star at 22 and then ad 23, 24, and 25. 22+23+24+25=94, so I was correct.
Predict:
I predict that this problem will involve adding and consecutive numbers.
Read:
Carl looked at the page numbers on the open book right in front of him. The left and right page numbers added to 333. What are the page numbers?
Clarify:
Nothing to clarify.
Solve:
Well first I tried 360 and 361 because I knew they had to be consecutive numbers. Unfortunately, that was wrong and the answer to that was 321. Because that was quite a bit off the answer I needed, I tried 165 and 166 and the answer to that was 331, which was very close. I knew the numbers had to only be 1 extra value, so I did 166 and 167 and it worked.
Predict:
I predict this problem will involve addition.
Read:
The sum of two consecutive whole numbers is 97. What are the two numbers?
Clarify:
Nothing to clarify.
Solve:
First, I thought that the two numbers were going to be in the forts becuase the final answer is 97 and I also knew it would be 45 and more. First I tried 45+46 which didnt work. the answer to that was 91, so I decided to skip a few numbers and did 48+49 and that was the right sum. So my answer was 49 and 48.
Predict:
I predict I will use adding.
Read:
Two compasses costs as much as three protractors. how much are six protractors if a protractor costs $3?
Clarify:
Nothing to clarify.
Solve:
I realised that 2 compasses were $6 and that meant three protractors cost $6. after that, I doubled it because it was 6 protractors so the answer was $12.
Predict:
I predict this question will involve addition.
Clarify:

Fill in the missing digits given that no digit is repeated.
20
+ 5
8
First, I realised that I had to make the first equation equal more than 10, so I tried 9+4=5 and then I did 0+7 equals 8 because I carried 1 to the 0 and that worked too. Then I did 2+1 equals 3 because they were the only digits that haven’t been repeated. My final answer was…
209
+ 175
384
