Welcome Back

Hey, class! Sorry I am out sick today.  In case the sub was not clear, here is what is for homework.

Math: POW due Friday.

Class Question: Three watermelons and two cantaloupes weigh 32 pounds. Four watermelons and three cantaloupes weigh 44 pounds. All watermelons weigh the same and all cantaloupes weigh the same. What is the weight of two watermelons and one cantaloupe?


CHALLENEGE QUESTION (anyone who wants a challenge can work this out):
Monday, the Produce manager, Arthur Applegate, stacked the display case with 80 heads of lettuce. By the end of the day, some of the lettuce had been sold. On Tuesday, the manager surveyed the display case and counted the number of heads that were left. He decided to add an equal number of heads. (He doubled the leftovers.) By the end of the day, he had sold the same number of heads as Monday. On Wednesday, the manager decided to triple the number of heads that he had left. He sold the same number that day, too. At the end of this day there were no heads of lettuce left. How many were sold each day?

Writing: You should have completed your "representing both sides" activity from last week.  You will share these with the class tomorrow.

CHALLENGE (Due tomorrow at 8AM if you want to complete this):

Imagine your own holiday.

As popular legend tells it, we celebrate love on Valentine's Day because during Saint Valentine's life he performed marriages in the face of religious persecution. While little is known of Saint Valentine other than that he was buried on February 14, love continues to be his legacy centuries after his death. Imagine that centuries from now, people celebrate a holiday named after you. What would people to do on this holiday? Would they celebrate with particular kinds of gifts, foods or activities? What would be the main idea of the holiday?
