![]() We read the Canadian 12 Days of Canadian Christmas in our classroom. Then we solved a math problem based on the gifts given in the song. There are two answers to the math problem. We started solving the problem in class, but we are bringing the math problem home so we can finish it with our family. Please return the 12 Days of Canadian Christmas math problem to school by Friday, December 18 (we do have school that day). We will share our answers with the class. Here is a copy of the math problem: Here’s the list of the all of the gifts that were given on each of the 12 days: 1 Porcupine in a pine tree 2 Caribou 3 Beaver tails 4 Calling Moose 5 Stanley Cups 6 Curling Squirrels 7 Sledding Sled Dogs 8 Munching Mounties 9 Canoeing Loons 10 Leaping (Toronto Maple) Leafs 11 Piping Puffins 12 Dancing Cubs Math Challenge: If you added up all of these gifts together from the 1st day to the 12th day, how many gifts would you have? *Show all of your calculations and how you found your answer! As a writing practice our class reviewed all the work we have completed since September and we have written our own 12 Days of Schoolmas. Feel free to sing is as a family! 12 beehives stolen 11 worm diary writings 10 Terry Fox laps 9 buttermilk baths (for Wilbur) 8 legs on Charlotte 7 crawling creatures 6 waggle dances 5 dropped coffees (by Ms. Bates) 4 webs by Charlotte (some pig, terrific, radiant, humble) 3 clocks ticking 2 snowmen butt dancing 1 earth spinning around the sun! Thank you for all the students hard work so far this year. We will see you all again in school on Monday, January 4! Comments are closed.
