DMIC Maths Blog Post

For DIMC Maths this week we have been given a new challenging and interesting maths problem to solve within our DMIC Maths groups.

Word Problem:
There was MrMorrison and Rose, they both were given a bottle of medicine.
MrMorrison’s bottle was 300ml and he has to take 10ml every 3 hours.

Rose has a smaller bottles its 90ml Ne she has to take 5ml every 6 hours. They have
to take the medicine between the hours of 7am and 7pm.
Who will use up their medicine first?

Working outs:
MrMorrison can take 4 doses of medicine
Rose can take 10ml a day and have it 2 times within 7am and 7pm.
It will take MrMorrison 7 days and 6 hours to finish his medicine

To help solve this Problem we also used a graph, by using this graph we worked out that out of MrMorrison or Rose will use up their medicine first. Another good reason why we used a graph is that we can compare out of MrMorrison and Rose.

In our groups we used a lot of teamwork and some days this week some of our members in our groups were absent so we shared our learning with other group and compared our finding outs which helped us understand more about the problem and also helped us get the answer.

Our focus in our group this week was to make sure that everyone contributes to our group by either help by sharing their ideas and contributions or by writing down our finding outs and I think we did a great job

Below are some photos of our work and also a photo of our graph.
