The temperature in a town was 5°C on Monday. On Tuesday it was 6 degrees colder than Monday — is this possible?
Solving problems in the context of a building elevator to determine the position on a number line. For example, a building has 10 storeys, where the ground floor is zero. It also has 6 storeys below ground for parking. If I am on Floor 2 and I ride the elevator down 4 floors, which floor will I be on? Draw a diagram if required :)
Game time: You will be playing a game with two different coloured dice where the score from one dice is positive and the other is negative (e.g. blue die is positive; red die is negative). The largest positive or negative score after 10 throws is the winner. Please devise a method to record your progress score through the game.
This game can be extended to include an “operations dice’’ that controls the operation to be performed with the two numbers.
