Answer each question carefully.

You must explain how you got your answers or upload a picture of your work or your answers will be marked wrong.

  1. Ms. Borg took her fourth grade Math Club on a field trip to the Science Museum. A total of 27 students and adults went on the trip.
     On the way to the museum Miss Noether drove the school van with 11 students in it. The rest traveled by car with 3 people in each car.
     On the way home each car carried 4 people. 
     How many rode in the van?
7
     Explain how you solved the problem.
on the way to the museum: Miss N + 11 students = 12 people
27 people total -12 means 15 in cars, 3 per car means 5 cars
on the way home: 4 people per car x 5 cars = 20 people.
27 people total - 20 in cars leaves 7 for the van

At the first meeting of the math club, students decide that they would like to raise money to purchase puzzles and games for the math lab. They also agree to open the math lab every day after school. While some club members are tutoring students, other club members will sell lollipops just outside the lab.
Their advisor, Mrs. Germain, agrees to check out the price of lollipops at the local discount store. When the students arrive for the next meeting, she has the following chart on the board.

Mrs. Germain has also purchased one box of each type of lollipop. As the club members arrive, each of them is allowed to take one lollipop to eat during the meeting. Since the students are already familiar with the brands chosen, each selects his or her favorite brand.
The secretary of the club records the selections and later reports that 17 students chose Pop B, while only 8 students chose Pop A. Obviously there is a stronger preference for Pop B, so the students conclude that kids will be willing to pay more money for Pop B, and set its sale price at 75 cents apiece. The sale price of Pop A is set at 50 cents.
What will the profit be once the remaining lollipops are sold?
47.75
pop A starts with 75 students took 8 so 75-8 = 67 remain
pop B starts with 36 students took 17 so 36-17 = 19 remain
A profit = 67*.50
B profit = 19*.75
Total profit = 67*.50 + 19*.75 = 47.75
END

ELA The Integrity of Pineapple Pizza

The Integrity of Pineapple Pizza by Sarah Celestin, 16 For many years those who enjoy pineapple on their pizza have faced ridicule. Many people strongly disagree with the combination pineapple and pizza, and it is understood that not all opinions are always completely agreed on, but the perspectives of pineapple pizza eaters have been disrespected for far too long. The outright disgust expressed by non-pineapple pizza eaters is a contradiction to some of of the world’s favorite foods. For centuries various fruits,such as mango and watermelon, have been topped with salt and chili mixes, but the reaction to the list of concoctions previously stated do not even begin to compare to the reactions to pineapple pizza. Salted caramel, kettle corn, chocolate covered pretzels, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches: these are all snacks that are widely loved, but carry the same flavor profiles as pineapple pizza. So why is pineapple pizza so hated? Scientifically pineapple pizza stimulates two ...

CommonLit WHY ARE BEES VANISHING? Scientists find a combination of threats that may explain declining honeybee populations by Alison Pearce Stevens2014 Ms. Mulligan

Honeybees are an important part of Earth’s ecosystem—they pollinate plants, which produce food. Over the past ten years, researchers have been trying to figure out why so many honeybee colonies are collapsing.    As you read, find evidence to answer the following questions: Why are bees vanishing? How could this affect us? The post office is buzzing as package after package of honeybees await delivery to their new homes. The tiny hooked feet of some worker bees cling to the screens on the sides of each wooden case. Other worker bees huddle around a small central cage containing their queen. Sorting and delivering packages of live honeybees isn’t the favorite task of postal workers. Still, it is a job they have to handle more and more often. That’s because beekeepers in the United States and Europe have been losing bees to a mysterious condition known as colony1 collapse disorder, or CCD. Each mail-order package contains the seed of a new honeybee colony to replace one t...
