I am learning to solve Rate and Ratio using level 4 stragies
This resource is about showing how to solve problems involving rates and ratios
Show how you work these problem out.

1.  Mara has 4 books for every 3 books Chloe has.

Chloe has 12 books.

12 divided by 3 = 4
16 divided by 4 = 4
What is the ratio?  Explain using the ratio
3:4
12 : 16

2.  Sam gets $15 every 5 weeks for doing work around the house.
Show how to work out how many weeks it will take Sam to save $60
20 weeks = $60
10 weeks = $30. because double of 15 is 30 and double of 5 is 10.
What is the ratio?  Explain using the ratio.
5:15
20:60

3.  There are 6 boys for every 4 girls in a hockey team.
There are 10 girls in the team
Show how to work out how many boys are in the team.

Recount and Descriptive writings

What a day with Saint Joseph’s school from Orakei. Saint Pius X school gathered them with a kind welcome in our church. After our welcome mass we had lunch with them outside our classes. It was really fun playing with St Joseph’s students even though they grade year stopped at six. Next was our concert, we performed a awesome concert so did St Joseph’s school. As we said goodbye, they said thank you. My highlight for the day was playing with my little friends Blake, Finley and Finn. Happy Catholic Schools Day.
