Maths Problem Solving

Term 4 Week 1

Lower:

Leo likes counting toes. How many people does he need before he can count 50 different toes?

 

Middle:

Mr Feerick has three dogs of different ages. If he adds their ages together he gets 15. If he multiplies their ages together he gets 45. How old are Mr Feerick's dogs?

 

Upper:

Mr Sloane needs to row his pet ferret, pet rabbit and a bale of hay across to the island where he lives. The problem is that he can handle only one thing at a time. If he leaves the ferret with the rabbit, the ferret will kill the rabbit. If he leaves the rabbit with the hay, the rabbit will eat the hay. This will cause a problem on either side of the water. Can he successfully get the ferret, rabbit and hay across to her island without losing anything?
