Working Out Since Jessa was born in 1985 and received her award in 2010, we first work out how many we have to add to 1985 to get to 2010, so 1985 + 5 = 1990. After we add 1990 + 10 = 2000. Finally 2000+ 10 = 2010, which means Jessa was 25 years when she got her award.
Now we have to solve the months. Since she was born on April and got her award on July we work how many we get from April to July. So May, June and July, which is 3. This means Jessa was 3 months when she got her award.
Finally we figure out the days. So Jessa was born on the 7th and received her award on the 9th. So we add up until we get from 7 to 9. 7 + 2 = 9, which means Jessa got her award when she was 2 days. Then the answer i got was 25 years, 3 months and 2 days since Jessa got her award.
Today I did for day 1 activity 2 of week 2 for the SLJ. For this we had to use our maths to solve a question. For this activity we were to calculate how old in years, months and days Dr Jessa Rogers was when she won the NAIDOC Youth of the Year award. Dr. When l working this out my answer for this question was 25 years, 3 months and 2 days since Jessa got her award. This was fun to do because i could work on my maths to slove this question.
Hi Avalon, this is Mrs Collins again from Manaiakalani commenting on blogs over term break. Well done on posting and participating in the SLJ this year.
ReplyDeleteHere's my workings out on the problem...
1985 > 2010 = 25yrs
7th April > end of April = 23 days
May = 31 days
June = 30 days
> 9th July = 9 days
= 23+31+30+9= 93 days
April = 30 days, May = 31 days, June = 30 days (92 days)
2 days left over
= 25 yrs, 3 months and 2 days.
Keep blogging, and commenting on others, to increase your chance of winning one of the awesome prizes and to keep up your learning over the school break!
Thank you Mrs Collins again thank you for showing me your way of working it out.
DeleteHi Avalon!,
ReplyDeleteIt was really interesting reading you working out. You have clearly explained how you have worked out this situation. I also have the same answer as you (25 years, 3 months and 2 days). I like how you have explained what you did for this activity. Did you find solving this problem difficult? If so why?
Well Done!
Hello Avalon. This is definitely a great way to working it out. I really enjoyed reading your explanation and strategy. This activity was very interesting being a Math equation...But I loved the creativity and idea of it. I got the same answer as you! Do you think we are correct? Well done!
ReplyDeleteHi Avalon,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you explained how you got your answer step by step with a lot of detail. I also liked how you said that it was fun to do because you needed to do maths. Did you find this activity easy or hard?
