It’s a double post today, because I missed out yesterday…
6 thoughts on “Maths problem of the day from White Rose”
Hello!
I was wondering if something had happened yesterday because you didn’t post the maths problem of the day. I’m glad it’s just that you forgot!
Day 11:
1. 9 x 7 > 8 x 7
48 / 2 > 48 / 4
300 x 2 = 20 x 30
2. 1500 – 565 = 935
There are 935 boys
3. 1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
1/6 = 7
7 x 6 = 42
Mr Patel’s number is 42
Day 12:
1. A = 2.25
B = 22
B + A = 24.25 aka C
The arrow would go on the 2nd line after the 24
2. 2 : 5 = 24 : 60
60 – 36 = 24
60 / 5 = 12, 12 x 2 = 24
3. It isn’t possible getting 64 as a number but he could’ve had 64 parts by dividing 32 by 2 instead of how you would normally find a half of the number when dividing by 2.
Hi Sarah – I like to thing that I was busy at school readying everything for when you come back, rather than that I forgot, but I suspect it might have been a bit of both…
Day 11 – Q1 & Q3 are right – check Q2, applying RUCSAC
Day 12 – Q1 – you have carried through a mistake from A into C – have another look
Q2 – right
Q3 – read what you have written and have a think – is there another way you could write your thoughts using a different number sentence?
You are very close… perhaps another Owl can help you…

I think I’ve found my mistakes!
Day 11:
Q2 = There are 370 more boys than girls.
Day 12:
Q1 = 24.5
Q3 = I’m not too sure, I’ll try to do it later since I still have other things to do
Well done Sarah, I’m very impressed with your growth mindset and resilience. Good luck with Q3 😉
Top one:
1. 9 x 7>8 x 7
48/2> 48/4
300 x 2 = 20 x 30
2. 370
3. I didn’t quite understand 🙂
P.S. The slash on the first one is the same as the division sign.
Hi Erika
Q1 and Q2 are correct – well done. Have a go answering Q3 by drawing a bar model – you can do it!
