On Thursday, 4 June, Year 6 students participated in a ‘Year Six Maths Quiz’ in teams. This tested their Four-Operations Problem Solving Skills.
Equal winners were: Kuda, Joseph, Cooper, Kallen, Stefan, Marlow and Jamison.
Here is an example of a question that the boys solved. Can you work it out?
“Mr Rouse is buying a new couch. He has found a couch that he loves at 3 different stores. Its full price is $1500, but the first store had it one sale for 15% off, the second store had it on sale for 1/5 off the original price and the third store has it on sale for 0.21 off the original price. Which store should he buy the couch from, and how much does he save?”
