Grade 6 EQAO Prep- Math Question

[Bella90210]

My host teacher asked me to prepare a math or language question/activity each week for his grade 6 class, in order to prepare them for the EQAO tests later on this year.

He gave me a copy of previous years EQAO tests and I've selected a math question that I'm going to give the students in their groups and then ask them to come up to the class and explain what they did.

He wants to me to explain what a Level 4 answer would look like. Can anyone give me any advice on an effective way to teach this particular question that will show the students what a Level 4 answer would look like, according to the EQAO standards? The question is not difficult but I would like some advice on what kinds of expectations are involved in EQAO.

Question;
A rectangular wall is being built. The table shows the dimensions of the wall after each day.

Wall Dimensions
Day Height Length
1 1 m 2m
2 2m 3m
3 3m 4m
4 4m 5m

If the pattern continues what will the perimeter of the wall the at the end of Day 10?
a. 42 m (Correct answer)
b. 38m
c. 21m
d. 19m

man first you find the relationship between the the first column and trhe second column then you replace x with 10 because 10 is the number of days.

And i would like to say Mai jatt punjabi dosta sanu mann punjabi hon da

I hope this helped

[Unregistered]

you are wrong

[Wii]

when the day is 10 the height is also 10 and the length is 11

[Unregistered]

dude you're actually right
im a grade 6 student .
At first I thoght it was 19 but then ,
I saw the word perimeter then I knew I made a mistake.

[Unregistered]

Your right!.
Because on the tenth day,
it will be 10+10+11+11
So.

10
10
11
11
_______
42 :).

Being a 6th grader myself, I'm thinking a level 4 response (assuming you also want an explanation) would be:

The height's pattern is Start at 1, add 1 each time. The length's pattern is Start at 2, add 1 each time. With this information, you can tell that on the 10th day, the height will be 10m and the length would be 11m. Therefore, the perimetre is 42m.

That would be my full response.

Since it is multiple choice the students do not need to come up with a level 4 answer per say. It is important to teach students how to select the correct answer for multiple choice questions as well. Since sometimes two of the answers could be correct.

[Unregistered]

Yes the answer is 42 actually becasue what the question is asking us is the perimeter. So I first found out the pattern which is for the first column you just keeping adding 1 and same goes for the second one. So since they asked me what was the 10 so I knew the first column was 10 and the second was 11. But the way I found the answer was because the formula for perimeter is

L + W(x2)
10+11(x2)
which equal 42

So in conclusion the answer is 42m.

if you continue the pattern you will get:

day height length perimeter
1 1 2 6 PERIMETER FOR A RECTANGLE: length+height
2 2 3 10 times 2= PERIMETER
3 3 4 14
4 4 5 18
5 5 6 22
6 6 7 26
7 7 8 30
8 8 9 34
9 9 10 38
10 10 11 42----------------------- that is the answer.

5-5,6 6-6,7 7-7,8 8-8,9 9-9,10 10-10,11 I added 20 and22: 22
+ 20
--------

42

I'm going to use the problem solving method I was taught.
Im a 6th grader student.
I'm solving this question the long way but,it's an effective way to show your work.

~UNDERSTAND~
I know the pattern of the chart is:
Column 1:the numbers are increasing by 1 each time starting from the number 1.
Column 2:the numbers are increasing by 1 each time starting from the number 2.
If the chart continues it will look like this:
Day Height Length
1 1 2
2 2 3
3 3 4
4 4 5
5 5 6
6 6 7
7 7 8
8 8 9
9 9 10
10 10 11

~Make A PLAN~
First,I will calculate the perimeter of the wall.
(L+W)x2
Next I will conclude that,that is my answer

~CARRY OUT THE PLAN~
10+11=21x2=42

I guarantee that if you try this method to calculate the answer for a word problem,you answer will be Level 4

[smarter then you]

the answer is 168 u guys are so stupid because 42+42+42+42=168 so **************** it

my daughter had to do this questioon

The right anwser is "c" because each day the length increases by 1 but starts at 2and the width by 1but strats at so after ten dys the length would be 11 and width would be 10.the question asks how much is finished not the area so 10+11=21 acd makes c the anwser.

im drinking coffee right now :] the answer is clearly 644

rtyrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Unregistered]

you are wrong!! it is obviously o.6

[Valley Park Student]

on day 10, the height will be 10 and the length will be 11
P=(L+H)times 2
=(10+11)times 2
= 21 times 2
= 42 m <--------------------------------------- Thats the anwer!!!

[Unregistered]

by the way the person who posted the last comment messed it up. You may be thinking perimeter is length + width but it is actually length + width x 2 or length + width + length + width. So stop trying to mess people up because the teacher is right and so am I. The correct answer is 42 because of the reason stated above.

[Unregistered]

I am a grade 6 student. I have not learned about perimeter and area. I know what the answer is and it is 42. If you think I'm wrong then I guarantee you 100% that I am right.
Here is how:

Day Height Length
1 1 2
2 2 3
3 3 4
4 4 5
5 5 6
6 6 7
7 7 8
8 8 9
9 9 10
10 10 11

Its asks you what is the perimeter on the 10th day. Its tells you it is a rectangular wall. A rectangle as 4 sides. If you think the answer is 42 ure rite. If you think it is 21 it is not. You added 10 and 11 which only gives you 2 SIDES. To get 4 sides you have to add 10 2 times and 11 2 times. If you add 10,10,11,11 you will get 42.

You're a bit weird... And yes i replied what are you gonna do about it? I'd like to know.
I didn't think so weirdo. You're real a loser dude. Go screw yourself.

[Unregistered]

this is reall helpful you should post more like this Equation and level 4 answer and maybe even do differnt levels to compare and contrast to understand better

[Unregistered]

i saw this question on one of the grade 6 questions i was doing last year on a test and plus that is the correct answer!

[Unregistered]

Being a 6th grader myself, I'm thinking a level 4 response (assuming you also want an explanation) would be:

The height's pattern is Start at 1, add 1 each time. The length's pattern is Start at 2, add 1 each time. With this information, you can tell that on the 10th day, the height will be 10m and the length would be 11m. Therefore, the perimetre is 42m.

That would be my full response.

Hi, I just read this response and I am also a sixth grader. I wouldn't agree with you on that being a level four because you didn't explain how you did the math to get 42m and you aren't totally correct. Gett a reality check because that is soo a level to or maybe a low level three. you think your so good but your not, you *beep*

[Unregistered]

dude that is totally wrong it is suppose to be 42 m!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Unregistered]

Dude don't be so rude!!

[Unregistered]

i'm a seventh grader and the real correct answers is 42m i scored level 4 for and math.

[Unregistered]

I am grade6 and i am currently doing eqao and i dont know surface area or volume. My class had to guess the question.

[Unregistered]

Yes the answer is 42 actually becasue what the question is asking us is the perimeter. So I first found out the pattern which is for the first column you just keeping adding 1 and same goes for the second one. So since they asked me what was the 10 so I knew the first column was 10 and the second was 11. But the way I found the answer was because the formula for perimeter is

L + W(x2)
10+11(x2)
which equal 42

So in conclusion the answer is 42m.

that is what i would give 4 to

[Unregistered]

well i just startedthe eqao and i think it is pretty easy don't u guys??

[Unregistered]

yeah man....totally......
It is damn easy!

[Unregistered]

its 42 because if u continue till 10 days you have a 10 and 11. there asking for the perimiter L+W 11+11= 22+ 12+12=42.

[DEAD ALIBABA]

I know what all of you are thinking. You are thinking 10 + 11 = 21, but it's wrong.
Because,
The level 4+ answer:

The correct answer is 42. I know that because, the patterns were start at 1, add 1 each time and start at 2, add 1 each time. So, in the 10th day it would be 10 and 11. I know that length + width x 2 = perimeter of a rectangle. So the equation is 10 + 11 x 2 = y,
or, 21 x 2 = y,
or, 42 = y.
That's how I know it's 42m.
