math mystery:case of the disappearing

donuts__________ 2032Something strange has been going on across the town of Mathhattan! There have been several reports about donuts disappearing into thin air . . . literally! While it definitely would make Mathhattan a healthier place, people still should be allowed to have a choice when it comes to eating a special treat.

David, a victim who has experienced this with over a dozen donuts, stated “I’d have a donut in my hand and before my eyes it would just disappear into nothing! It’s happened so many times, I’m thinking I’m just going to have to switch to muffins instead. This is surely some sort of horrible magic trick!”

Doug, the King of the Donut Diner complained, “This sort of magical mischief has been ruining my business! Customers are no longer returning because they are afraid their donut will disappear. Whoever is behind this must be stopped!”

It is clear that someone with magical abilities is behind this nuisance, so an investigation has begun to search for this mystical disappearing donut trickster.

MATH DETECTIVE NEEDED TO FIND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISAPPEARING DONUTS

The police have made a list of all the possible magical suspects. However, they need a super detective with math skills to help them solve this case. Working with decimals are a key skill needed to crack the five clues. Let’s hope this trickster can be found so that people in Mathhattan can enjoy donuts again without any fear of losing them!

I’m pretty sure I saw a man making donuts disappear.

I think I saw an elf playing with magic around the donut shop.

A strange gentlemen has been carrying around a lot of donuts.

There has been an elf running around town casting all sorts of silly tricks.

Rumor has it that the wizards in town are stocking up on donuts for the winter.

A cloaked gnome has been wandering around with his spell book.

I saw a mysteriouswoman sitting in the back corner of the donut shop.

It must be one of those cheeky fairies! They love playing tricks.

I heard that someone has been using an orb to make the donuts disappear.

I could hear a female voice chanting a disappearing donut spell.

Apparently, the elves use the donuts for a special celebration to bring them good luck.

It was that greedy Wizard who wouldn’t grant me a wish!

My friend said,that her friend saw a man with over a thousand donuts in his car.

I think that fairies need donuts to regenerate their magic, so it probably is one of them.

I saw a wizard weaving his magic around the donut shop.

I spotted an elf using a wand near people in the park eating donuts.

WEEK 4 APRIL 6-9 (GRADES 3-5)

Hello my friends! I can’t believe its been 4 whole weeks that we have been learning from home. I know that you all have been working so hard at your school work and making time for specials.

This week we are going to practice coding on paper. I have included a few things for you to do

Minecraft Coding Puzzle: Use the symbols given to guide Alex to the Chest.

Coding Puzzle: What can you do to make the world awesome? Code the puzzles to find the answer.

Challenge Puzzle: In this challenge puzzle, you are going to follow the code given. Start with the dot in the middle of the grid and follow each line of code to see what you create!

If you need anything from me, or want to share your work, please feel free to email me at [email protected]

Use the symbols to write a program. Guide Alex to the chest.

Enrich Writing Activity

Directions: - Select a book you have around the house. I recommend a picture book or very short chapter book. It is best to choose a book you have read several times and are familiar.

- Your task is to rewrite the story as play to be acted out. Decide the main characters of the story and write their lines (the dialogue). Can you act out the play at home? Do you have family to be characters or are you each character?

OR

- Rewrite the story and add a new character. The character can be you, someone in your family, a friend…even one of your teachers or coaches!

- Illustrate your story

Remember what you have learned about the writing process. Brain storm, make a graphic organizer to help organize your thoughtsWrite with detail and use descriptive words

Write neatly!! No excuses - all it takes is practice. When you are writing you are using a specific part of your brain (the cerebrum). You use even more of it when you write in cursive.

Use your imagination and have fun!!!

Alternative Activity: - Select a book you have around the house. I recommend a picture book or very short chapter book. It is best to choose a book you have read several times and are familiar.

- Rewrite the ending to the story by either completely changing it or adding to the story. Instead of it ending, you continue the story.

OR

- Make your own drawings for each page

PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT HELP OR SUGGESTIONS. I AM HAPPY TO HELP :)

We are going to participate in “Sousa’s March Mania,” a competition in which students rally behind their favorite marches as they advance through a series of match-ups and onto the championship game! Each week two marches compete head-to-head, while votes for the favorite march determines which one advances to the next round. This March Mania will be a dogfight like no other! Which marches will make it from the Enlisted Eight, and Fidelis Four to the final round? That’s for you to decide. Students are encouraged to fill out a bracket before the competition begins to see if they can predict the winner. Anyone with the winning march on their bracket, completed prior to the first match, can call themselves an honorary " March King!” Listen to this week’s marches here: Moorside March by Gustav Holst: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX-P23NUNT4&list=PLA7no0L9zTk5GMgztf2rTijfVCaq-rehU&index=14 March of the Toys by Victor Herbert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg1M0u_5isY&list=PLA7no0L9zTk5GMgztf2rTijfVCaq-rehU&index=22 Vote for your favorite here: https://forms.gle/4T9WZUMaS38X7G7i8
