Guidelines for Solving Group Math Problems   

1. Make sure each member of your group has a clue as all clues are specific and needed for the solution of the problem. 2. Read your clue and decide what information is important to the solution of your problem. Determine how your clue might be used in the solution. 3. Share your clue with your group by reading it aloud. 4. Obtain any manipulative that you think might help you understand or solve your problem. 5. Write the important information from each clue down on chart paper. 6. Everyone in your group must participate in solving the problem. 7. Record how you solved the problem. Use pictures, words and/or diagrams. Be prepared to share with the class. You may use manipulative models to support your presentation. ; If your group agrees that it needs help, ask the teacher.

Scuba Diving Problem
 
CLUE 1: Your family is on a dream vacation to the Osprey Beach resort in Turks and Caicos. The resort is located on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at 11m above sea level. You have decided to go on a scuba diving adventure as a family and are excited to dive the Grand Turk wall and see the amazing marine life as well as the famous Molasses Reef shipwreck. What is the distance (in metres) from the scuba diving boat to the bow of the shipwreck? CLUE 2: As you approach the scuba site you see a dolphin jump 5m above the surface of the water! Later when you are diving, you see a seahorse swim by 13m above the bow of the shipwreck. The seahorse is swimming 4m below the hawksbill turtle. What is the distance (in metres) from the scuba diving boat to the bow of the shipwreck?  CLUE 3: While you are swimming along the reef, you almost bump into a hawksbill turtle that is gliding along, 6m below the ocean’s surface. Later, you hear that your father saw a whale shark! Lucky for you it was swimming 2m below the bow of the shipwreck – which was too deep for you! What is the distance (in metres) from the scuba diving boat to the bow of the shipwreck?  CLUE 4: You are thrilled when you make it to the bow if the shipwreck. It is amazing how the marine life has taken over the old boat. Later, when you’re safely back in your room you decide to draw a diagram in your journal of what your family saw. The difference between the hotel and the whale shark sighting is 36m. What is the distance (in metres) from the scuba diving boat to the bow of the shipwreck? 

 

 

CLUE 4: Iqaluit’s high temperature was 50oC greater than Toronto’s low temperature. Toronto’s high temperature was less than 36oC. Iqaluit’s low temperature was less than -23oC. What were the low and high temperatures of each city?

Football Problem
CLUE 1: In the final possession of the conference championship game against the Tennessee Titans, the Buffalo Bills need a touchdown to win the game. Luckily during the possession, the star running back ran the ball 41 yards before going out of bounds at Tennessee’s 32 yard line.

Shopping Problem
 
CLUE 1: For your twelfth birthday, your grandparents set up a bank account for you and gave you your first debit card. As an additional gift, they deposited $100 to get you started. Over the month of November you made a variety of purchases and deposited some money that you made babysitting your nextdoor neighbours. At the end of the month, your favourite band released their new album on iTunes for $17.95. Is there enough money in your account to buy the album? CLUE 2: Over the course of the month you babysat for an hour after school 6 times for a total of $42. You treated your best friends to ice cream which came to $18 Is there enough money in your account to buy the album?  CLUE 3: Your favourite store had a HUGE sale on the second week of November and you purchased a new pair of jeans as well as three t-shirts and a pair of sneakers. Your bill came to $73. Is there enough money in your account to buy the album?

Did the Buffalo Bills win the championship? CLUE 2: At the end of one play, the top receiver made a finger tip grab and landed 39 yards from where the ball was released by the quarterback. Did the Buffalo Bills win the championship? CLUE 3: The Bills gained possession of the football at their own 18 yard line. There is a difference of 50 yards from this point and where they would be at the start of their third down. Did the Buffalo Bills win the championship? CLUE 4: The first play of the possession resulted in a near interception, but the ball squeezed through the hands of the Tennessee cornerback and landed firmly in the grips of the Buffalo receiver for 9 yard gain. Did the Buffalo Bills win the championship?

 

 

   
CLUE 4: Before you were able to deposit your babysitting money you spent $12 of it on a movie and popcorn, and leant your sister $12 so she could come - which you are still waiting to get back from her! Is there enough money in your account to buy the album?

Space Problem
CLUE 1: If you’ve never watched a NASA shuttle launch – it is a spectacle that you don’t want to miss! In the minutes leading up to the launch are filled with anticipation as the crew gets ready for lift-off. At T-3 hours the astronauts are strapped into their seats in the shuttle. How long after take-off do the astronauts reach the Earth’s orbit? CLUE 2: Astronauts measure time in 2 ways: the time before lift-off (eg. T-10 = ten seconds before liftoff) and the time after liftoff (called mission elapsed time or MET … an MET of 2 minutes means 2 minutes into the mission). At an MET of 2 minutes the two white slender solid rocket boosters (SRBs) are released. How long after take-off do the astronauts reach the Earth’s orbit? CLUE 3: There is 3 hours and 18 minutes between the time the astronauts are strapped into their seats and when they reach orbit. How long after take-off do the astronauts reach the Earth’s orbit? CLUE 4: The dark orange external tank is released to burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere as the shuttle reaches orbit. This happens 6 minutes after the SRBs are released. How long after take-off do the astronauts reach the Earth’s orbit?

Office Tower Problem
 
CLUE 1: Gavin works for the Better than Words Publishing Company in the Glamour Building on Main Street. It is Friday afternoon and he is in a rush to get home and start his weekend. When he reaches his car in Parking Lot B, he realizes that he forgot his cell phone on his desk. Begrudgingly, he makes his way back up to his office, only to realize that he has left his office keys in his car. How many floors apart are the keys and the locked office? CLUE 2: The Glamour Building is known for its Rooftop Restaurant that is 9 floors above the Fitness Centre. Gavin’s office is directly below the Security Firm offices that are 9 floors above Maintenance. The lobby sits at ground level (0), and Parking Lots A, B, and C are the three floors beneath the lobby. How many floors apart are the keys and the locked office? 

 

 

CLUE 3: Marla Malkinson, the infamous model lives in the Penthouse suit, which is convenient considering it is only a 6 floor ride down the elevator to the Photography Studio offices. The fitness centre is located on the first floor of the building, which is 5 floors above Maintenance. How many floors apart are the key and the locked office?  CLUE 4: Parking Lot A is one floor below the lobby and 3 floors below the Insurance offices. There are three condo levels between the Security firm offices and the Penthouse Suite. The higher up in the building, the more expensive the condo becomes – so the 8th floor condos are the most expensive in the building. How many floors apart are the key and the locked office?
