 Instructions
• Work with a partner.
• Read through the problem.
• Devise a plan to solve your problem and put the plan into action.
• Prepare a short oral presentation to explain to your class how you
solved your chosen problem. Your explanation must include
[1] Your original plan of how to solve the problem.
[2] A step by step guide of what you did to get your answer.
[3] Details of any changes to your original plan and why those
changes were made.
[4] A detailed explanation of all your working out.
 Our Chosen Problem
Paste the problem you have chosen here:

Meredith is in training for the 2012

Olympics. She should swim at least
1,000,000 meters during 2009. How
many laps of the pool will she need to
swim in order to swim to swim
1,000,000 meters? How many laps
should she swim each day?
 Our Plan…
Write your plan of how you will solve the problem here:

1. Measure the pool.

2. I will also divide the pools measurement into 1,000,000.
 Working the answer…

Show how have worked out your answer here.

We went to the pool with the trundle wheel. Then we went and heard
25clicks.
So we divided 1,000,000 by 25. So we got 40,000. Then we divided
40,000 by 1 year which is 365. So it became 109 which we rounded
up and became 110.
 Our Solution!

We divided 1,000,000 by 25 which was 40,000. So she had to swim 110

laps per day for one year.
 How did we work it out?
First we went to the pool and measured the pool. And we got 25 clicks. So we
divided 1000000 with 25. So we got 40000. so she had to swim 1 year so we
divided 40000 with 365. So it became 109, but we rounded it up and became
110. So we knew that she had to swim 110.
