Hidden Number Challenge accepted by Daniel

I hid 5 consecutive numbers 1001-1005 in an image I found in google for today's challenge.

I am from room 1, Kauri Whanau. From Daniel

Fantastic Work, you really need good eyesight to see these numbers. 

Thursday's Challenge accepted by Ryan

"I have tried hiding numbers from 108 to 112 in the picture below which I chose from the google pictures for today’s challenge.

I have used Paint 3D to add the numbers. I am in room 17, Kowhai Whanau." From Ryan

Awesome work Ryan, I had to look very closely to see them all.  Ka pai

Thursday's Challenge: Hiding Numbers in a picture

Hide these numbers in any picture you wish to draw:

Here is an example, these numbers are NOT hidden very well.  I bet you can do better.

Koru Whanau
- Hide the numbers: 1,2,3,4,5.


Kowhai Whanau
- Hide the numbers:  108,109,110, 111, 112

Kauri Whanau
- Hide any five consecutive numbers of your choice:  That means any 5 numbers in a row. ie 1001,1002,1003,1004,1005.  The sky is the limit.

Please email me a photo of your picture: kimm@sunnyhills.school.nz

Card Game for the Whole Family: GARBAGE

Here is an easy game the whole family can play.  It teaches number recognition, ordering to 10, the use of arrays and lots of fun!

How to Play Garbage:

You Need

52 card deck (additional decks are needed for four or more players)

Deal

To start, deal ten cards to each player. The remaining deck is placed in the middle. The cards remain face down. Set your cards in an array of two rows of 5 (2 x 5 = 10)

Objective

The object of the game is to be the first player to line up your cards in a sequence starting with the ace.

Game Play

The player left of the dealer goes first by drawing the top card from the middle deck. In the first round, each player has ten card spots. The spots are numbered 1 to 10, starting from the left. When a numbered card is drawn, the card is placed in the corresponding spot.

For example, a 5 drawn will be put face up in the fifth spot on your row. The face down card in the 5 spot is flipped up and moved accordingly. When a player can no longer make a move, a discard takes place to end the turn.

The next player to the left can choose to take the top discard or draw the top card of the deck.

The kings are wildcards and can be put in any spot. The jacks and queens are garbage and are discarded when picked up. Aces are used for the 1 spot.

Winning

Once a player has flipped up all his/her cards, each other player gets one more turn.

All the players that were able to flip up all ten cards will only be dealt nine cards in the next round, and will only need to get a sequence of 1 to 9. Players that did not flip up all the cards will have to play the next round with ten cards again.

Play continues this way with winning players going down one card, and losing players replaying with the same amount of cards as the previous round.

The first player to flip an ace in his/her last round wins the game.

Rules

When a player flips up all his/her cards, the other players get one more turn. If on that last turn a player is able to flip up all his/her cards, he/she will also go down one card for the next round.

Wildcards can move. For example, a player with a wildcard in the 2 spot that draws a 2 can replace the wildcard with the 2. The wildcard can then be moved to a different spot

Renee's Amazing Fraction Work

Thank you to Renee and her mum for emailing her fraction work she did last week in the kitchen.

Renee made banana muffins and doubled the recipe.

The Recipe is from the Sunnyhills Cook Book, if you would like to try it to.

 I like how she used the equipment and drew the fraction size and wrote it beside each measuring cup.

Renee has a couple of questions for you.

1. If she doubled the recipe, how many muffins should she have?

2. How many did she actually bake?  What is an efficient way you can count these muffins?

3. Can you see the small piece missing from a muffin? How much did she eat from this muffin?
