Distance  (Page 3/4)

• Find out:

1. How far from the school is your home?

2. How far do you walk or ride each day?

3. How far do you walk or ride in one school week?

4. How far away is the learner who lives furthest from the school?

5. How far away is the learner who lives nearest to the school?

6. Calculate the difference between the two distances:

• Ask your educator to help you to summarise the information:

___________________ learners living closer than ½ km.

___________________ learners living between ½ and 1km from the school.

___________________ learners living between 1 and 1½ km from the school.

___________________ learners further than 1½ and 2 km from the school.

___________________ learners further than 2 km from the school.

Here is a graph showing the distances for the learners in the twins’ class. Their graph is drawn in black and marked with an A . Record your own class’ information on the same graph. Draw your graph using a red pencil and mark it with B.

Bonny and Tommy are very exited, because Grades 3, 4 and 5 are going on a netball and rugby tour.

This is the bus in which they will travel.

• Copy it in the blocks that are provided.

• Now draw the bus, first as you will see it from the front and then from the back.

• Bring empty cartons and other scrap material to school to build your own bus.

Use your own method for solving the following problems .

• There will be 120 players and 8 coaches on the tour. Each bus may only transport 35 passengers. Draw the buses that will be needed to transport everyone.
• Divide the players and the coaches among the buses to place the same number of players and coaches in each bus. Write the numbers on the buses you have drawn. How many seats will be empty in each bus? ________________
• A rugby team has 15 rugby players. How many players are there in the 5 rugby teams altogether? There are __________________________________
• There are 7 netball players in a netball team. How many players are in the 5 netball teams altogether? There are __________________________________
• The other players are the reserves. How many reserves are there?

• They leave on Thursday and will be away for 3 nights. On which day will they return? _____________________________________________________
• Each player has to contribute R100 to cover a portion of the costs. Bonny and Tommy will each take along R50 in pocket money.

What will the twins’ parents have to pay, including the pocket money, to let them go on the tour?______________________________________________

Bonny and Tommy and all the other players enjoyed the tour thoroughly, but there are a couple of calculations to be done.

• Here is a representation of the route to help you with the calculations.

During the tour they travelled 400 km altogether. On the first day they travelled 120 km , on the second day they travelled 102 km and 103 km on the third day. How far did they travel on the last day to get back to the school?

• Number sentence: ________________________________________
• On the last day: ____________________________________

The cost of the fuel came to R150 for each 100 km that the bus travelled.
