Chapter 10

PLAY DAY - YEAH!

INTRODUCTION

At the beginning of Chapter 10 you made up an event for a Play Day for 54 students. Along with your event there are going to be lots of other activities, such as a beanbag toss and a relay race. All that playing and running around is going to make everybody very hungry.

TASK

•  There are 54 students coming to the play day.

•  There are 9 groups.

•  Each group will have one teacher in it. Remember, teachers get hungry too!
