Can you solve the problem in the video below? Leave a comment at the bottom with your strategies! Did you use guess and check? Did you try to write it out or draw a picture? This is a great puzzle from the fantastic math website transum.org, a fantastic website with lots of great math tools, resources, and puzzles!
My clock does not have any numbers on its face, just markers for each hour/five-minute interval. I looked at it in a mirror one morning and noted the time it appeared to be showing. An hour and a half later while eating breakfast in the kitchen I noticed the clock on my phone is showing the time the reflected clock appeared to show earlier. Assuming that both clock and phone were showing the accurate time, what time was it when I first viewed my clock in the mirror? Discussing math in the classroom and at home with your family is so important in developing numeracy, language, and spatial sense! "Which One Doesn't Belong?" Is a great resource to find some math discussion topics! Here is a great example: Can you find a reason why each of the following shapes doesn't belong? (Many more at http://wodb.ca/) Create your own WODB at home! You can use shapes, objects, numbers, graphs, photos, patterns, anything! (Mrs. Clark even created a wodb with picture books her class read together).
