Can paying attention and working hard in school make you smarter?
Yes yes yes! Working hard at solving difficult problems increases the neural pathways (the paths that nerves use to send messages) working inside your brain, allowing your brain to understand and remember more stuff!
Are you going to practice your 8's facts for tomorrow's quiz?!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSS..........
Vivi had 36 pieces of Halloween candy left over and wanted to give 9 pieces of candy to each of her friends. How many friends will get candy?
36 ÷ 9 = 4, so 4 friends will get candy.
William, Evan, Luke, and Alex are playing multi-player Minecraft. There are 12 wolves attacking them. If they each get rid of the same number of wolves, how many wolves will each person have to attack?
12 ÷ 4 = 3, so they will each have to attack 3 wolves.
Jack gave Charlie and Micah money (you know, because he's nice like that!). He had $16 total to give them. If he gave them each the same amount of money, how much did each of them get?
(you don't have to show repeated subtraction, just solve the problem using any strategy you would like)
16 ÷ 2 = 8
so Charlie and Micah each got $8
40 kids were playing outside at recess. If every kid wanted to play 4-square without having to wait in line, how many 4-square courts would there need to be so that all 40 kids could play at once?
40 ÷ 4 = 10
so there would have to be 10
4-square courts.
Can making mistakes make you smarter?
Yes! Believe it or not, making mistakes is part of the learning process. You are not just born smart - you can MAKE yourself smarter through hard work, which includes making mistakes. So don't be upset the next time you make a mistake - be happy because it means you are trying something new!
