Someone is always building big new things out of Lego, and this Lego record is an exciting one: the world's tallest Lego tower. Built in Budapest, Hungary out of 450,000 bricks, it stands over 34 metres high.
Here are some questions:
Koru whanau:
Yr 1: If the tower uses blue, red, green, white and yellow bricks, how many colours is that?
Yr 2: The tower was finished on a Wednesday and stood for only 5 days. On what day was it taken down?
Kowhai whanau: If you're in charge of adding 70 bricks onto the tower, and you're counting the bricks by 10s, what numbers do you say? Can you write a number story for this?
Kauri whanau:If the 450,000-brick tower uses 5 colours equally, how many bricks of each color does it use?
450,000!!!!!!
ReplyDeletefour hundred and fifty thousand and ten, four hundred and fifty thousand and twenty, four hundred and fifty thousand and thirty, four hundred and fifty thousand and forty, four hundred and fifty thousand and fifty, four hundred and fifty thousand and sixty, four hundred and fifty thousand and seventy.
450,000 + 70 = 450,070.
Thank you Molly, You have recorded counting in 10s with a number over 1000 so well! Check back tomorrow for another challenge.

ReplyDeleteIf you divide 45 by 5 it = 9 so it means i would be 90,000 bricks for each color (kauri whanau)
