march 1


  1. We talked more about the Roman numerals. Converting them into the usual (arabic) numerals feels easy; but writing numbers using them - not too fast!

  2. We worked more on the restaurant problems: this time Rabbits (2 Cabbages) and Piglets (1 Cabbage and 1 Apple) were visiting. How many R's and P's are there if they ate 6 Cabbages and 4 apples? 8 Cabbages and 2 Apples?

  3. We started to work on the jug problems, like this one:
    We'll return to this problem next Sunday...


Homework 

  1.  Write these numbers as Roman numerals: 40, 48, 140, 147, 80, 90, 98.
  2. How many Rabbits and Piglets were there is 10 Cabbages and 6 Apples were eaten?
  3. You have two jugs, of volumes 5 and 8 liters. Can you measure precisely 2 liters?
