Good Morning Super Students!
What an unreal break! It was amazing to see all of you and your families at conferences. I wish we could do that every week because it truly is amazing to talk with each of your families and to see you take ownership for your learning. Nice job with student led conferences! I asked all of you and your families to set a goal for the next few weeks. I did the same thing and thought I'd share mine with you. I am going to try and make a blog post EVERY day and TRY to make math engaging and challenging every day for all of you! Today's Task I was preparing for winter this weekend and set out to Menards to find some fire starts for our fire place. I was encountered with this problem...(see the picture above) Which box of fire starts should I buy and why? You may use your calculator for the computation. What things are you wondering? What things do you know?

I would get the big one. Because the big one gives you more fire starters but it is a lot more money. But the small dose not have as much.

I would get 6 little boxes because it will be 12 dollers for the same amount of fire starters except the big box is 13 dollers

You should get the 1.99 firelighters because that would be about $1 cheaper because if you do 144/24= 6 so that means you need 6 packs of the cheaper packs to equal the amount of the big pack and if you do 2 * 6 it equals 12 and so you would get 144 firelighters for 12 dollars instead of 13 dollars.

Well, with the bigger peck you would get 6x as many pieces, for nearly $13. But if you got 6 packs of the $1.99, that would be 11.94, which is about $1 cheaper, so I believe the 24 pack is best.

You should buy the smaller box because you can buy multiple boxes as you need for 1.99 each box instead of 12.00 for one big box

You should buy 6 of the little ones because you get the same amount as the big one for a lower price.

The bigger pack cause the small box has 24 pieces and the bigger pack has 144 pieces and will last longer

Yo should buy the cheaper one because it has a picture of a indoor fireplace so it probably is meant to be used that way. And the cheaper one is a 24 pack and you could buy about 6 1.99$ to get about a 144 pack.for only 12$ oh but then you could just buy the big one😁So buy the 144 pack for 13.00$

I would buy two small ones, because it would cost less and I would make few fires throughout the year. If I bought the large one I would lose money from unused fire starters. When I ran out I would get two more small ones.

I think that three small packs would be cheaper than getting the small individual cans because if you pair 4 little cans together it would be a pack and add the price $3.14, counting by 3’s 3 times would equal $9.14
