Cole’s Coats
Cole sells three sizes of winter coats—large, medium, and small. Each size below large sells for $10 less than the size above it. Cole wants to make $1,000 selling coats this month. He says, “If I sell 6 large coats for $60 each, 5 medium coats, and 10 small coats, I’ll make my goal!”
Is Cole correct?
Icy Rounding
Only the squares with numbers that round down to the nearest 10 are solid enough to walk on. Draw a path for the polar bear cub to reach his snack safely! The cub can only go up, down, left, or right.
Gathering Firewood
Fiona needs 5 logs to build a fire in her fireplace. The combined weight of all 5 logs must equal 40 pounds. Which 5 logs should she choose?
Plenty of Presents
Someone stacked these presents so the numbers in each row add to the same sum. But some numbers fell off! Can you fill in the missing numbers so each row still has the same sum?
ANSWERS: Cole’s Coats: Yes, Cole is correct: (6 × $60) + (5 × $50) + (10 × $40) = $1,010; Icy Rounding: The path is 32, 14, 93, 71, 11, 64, 52; GATHERING FIREWOOD: FIONA cOULD CHOOSE LOGS B, C, E, F, AND G; PLENTY OF PRESENTS: All answers with correct calculations that total to the same sum in each row are valid.
