New Zealand is just one of many countries that has amazing plants and trees. In fact, the African desert is home to some pretty incredible plants, like the cactus. Some cacti are able to survive on as little as 3 millilitres (ml) of water a day. Wow!
Let’s imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive, you must give it 3 ml of water every day.
Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?
On your blog, tell us how to solve this maths problem. You can write your answer in words, use a Sketchpad image, or post a video explaining how you would figure it out. Be sure to give us your final answer in millilitres (ml).
Hi Laki,
ReplyDeleteI like the strategy to see how many days are in a year, it is a good idea to solve a problem with these kind questions. Great work and keep it up.
Great work

Hey Jerome,

Hi Laki,
ReplyDeleteI like the way you have worked out this maths problem! I think you must like maths a lot, is that true? I'm most impressed. What other subjects do you like aside from maths?
I also like teaching maths, and I find that a lot of students like it.
Keep up the great blogging

Hi Laki,
ReplyDeleteWell done on finishing this activity. I think that you have done a great job working out how much water a cactus can survive on in a year. How do you think the cactus can survive on only 3mls of water a day? Keep up the excellent work.
