We had fun with this one. Our second and third graders tried to add the
number of days in each month to figure out how long the monarch had been
alive. Then they tried to divide their answer by seven to get the number
of weeks (that was more difficult, since they're still learning how to
divide). They worked independently in their journals. Then they turned
in their work. After that we worked it out together on the board. I told
the kids we would submit the answers closest to what we worked out
together.
Our class answer is that the monarch has been alive for 245 days, or 35
weeks.
Samantha, a second grader, got the answer 244 days or 31 weeks.
Lauren S., also a second grader, thought it was 272 days or 30 weeks.
All the kids did a great job!
