Greetings Math Students,
Today, you have been given a BRAND NEW challenge:
We are finally looking to carpet our hallways at Peach Plains Elementary School. This is exciting since this will potentially help to keep the halls quieter, but also provide more comfort for all.
Here is the challenge...the fourth grade students need to calculate several numbers for us to move forward with this project.
1. How much total area needs to be covered by carpet in our hallways?
This can be done in several ways, but you as a small group need to work to figure out which way will be best for you.
2. What type of carpet would be best for our hallways?
You'll need to do some shopping here.
3. What is the best price we can get?
4. What will the final cost for the project be?
Best of luck 4th graders...we're counting on you!
Sincerely,
Mr. k
