The Marshmallow Challenge!
















Today in kidpreneur every group did the marshmallow challenge. . After we got into our small groups, we all built different types of towers made from spaghetti sticks, scissors, tape and string. There was a lot of collaboration and everyone was anxious and frustrated, from their tower falling. At the end, when we were finished, we put the marshmallow on top and made sure it wouldn't fall.

Maths Ratios

Today in maths we used ratios. We added dye to a jar of water and had to figure out which two dye colours we wanted to use for our ratios. The colours we used were blue and red. Dehnyse and I were partners, so we had to decide how many.We chose 4 drops for the red and 3 drops for the blue. Our ratio is 4:3.


Ratio
Singular: 4:3
Doubled: 8:6
Tripled: 12:9
