CHAPTER 10
PLAY DAY - YEAH!
INTRODUCTION
At the beginning of Chapter 10 you made up an
event for a Play Day for 54 students. Along with your event there are
going to be lots of other activities, such as a beanbag toss and a relay
race. All that playing and running around is going to make everybody very
hungry.
TASK
In pairs, organize the food and drinks for a group of the students who
will be attending the Play Day. First you must calculate the number of
people in your group. Here is the information you need to find out how
many people will be in it.
- There are 54 students coming to the play day.
- There are 9 groups.
- Each group will have one teacher in it. Remember, teachers get hungry
too!
Visit different websites to choose the food
and drinks you will serve. Calculate how much you will need.
