TIMS Task

DPP Task B can be used as a Problem of the Week.

  1. $8.25; Possible response: First I multiplied 3 × $1.50 = $4.50 to find out how much they paid for admission. Since they each went on 2 rides, they each spent $1.00 on rides, 3 × $1.00 = $3.00. Three bags of popcorn will be $ .75. I added $4.50 + $3.00 + $ .75 = $8.25. This is the total they spent.
  2. 18 rides; Possible response: Ana and Mary had to spend $3.00 to get in so, they had $9.00 remaining. They can go on 2 rides for $1.00, so for $9.00 they can go on 18 rides or 9 rides each.
    1. $3.50; Possible response: John spent $1.50 to get into the park. He spent $2.00 on rides and $3.00 on the batting cage for a total of $6.50. $10.00 − $6.50 = $3.50 left.
    2. Possible response: I don't agree with John. He has $3.50 to spend and he will need $1.50 to get into the park, so he will only have $2.00 to spend on rides. He can go on 4 rides with $2.00.

B. Problem Solving at the Amusement Park

Admission to the amusement park is $1.50. Every ride costs 50 cents.

  1. Romesh and his two sisters all went to the amusement park. They each rode two rides. They each bought a bag of popcorn for 25 cents. How much money did they spend altogether? Show or tell how you found your answer.
  2. Ana and Mary together spent $12.00. How many rides did they go on? Explain how you know.
  3. John started his day at the amusement park with $10.00. He went on four rides. He also spent 15 minutes at the batting cage that cost $1.00 for five minutes. Then he went home.
    1. How much money did he have left? Show or tell how you solved the problem.
    2. John wants to go back to the amusement park tomorrow. He said he can go on 7 rides. Do you agree with John? Why or why not?
