He spent the whole day on the river catching tomcods. His first sister skated by his fishing hole and took ¼ of his fish and gave them to her grandmother. His second sister then took 6 fish to her auntie who lives on the other side of the village. And the last sister took ½ of the remaining fish to their grandfather. The brother had 12 left to bring home for dinner. How many fish did he catch today? Work: Total Fish: Sister #1 30/3 = Sister # Sister #3 12*2 = Fish left 12 The brother caught 40 fish today!

2 #3 Favorite NYO Event Naven enjoys participating in all ten of the NYO events: kneel jump, seal hop, toe kick, wrist carry, one arm reach, one foot high kick, two foot high kick, Alaskan high kick, Eskimo stick pull and Indian stick pull. His favorite event does not use a ball. He uses a stick when competing in this event. No brackets are needed. Two steady handed friends are helpful to have when competing in this event.

ANSWER: Wrist Carry is Naven s favorite event, since 2 carriers are needed to carry the stick. #4 The kids would like to ice skate, but first they must wait for the river to freeze. The river must be at least 1 ½ inches thick. If the river freezes ½ inch each night, but the sun melts the ice ¼ inch each afternoon, how many days do the kids have to wait?

3 #5 NYO Flight Plan Tununak will be hosting a Native Youth Olympics (NYO) meet next weekend. The villages of Chefornak, Toksook Bay, Kipnuk, and Oscarville will compete in the NYO meet. If the weather allows all the teams to travel, in what order do they arrive to the competition? List the order of all possible ways the visiting villages could arrive. CTKO TKOC KOCT OKCT CTOK TKCO KOTC OKTC COTK TOCK KTCO OTCK COKT TOKC KTOC OTKC CKTO TCOK KCTO OCKT CKOT TCKO KCOT OCTK 6 4 = 24 possible arrival orders I started with Chefornak and listed every possible way the 4 villages could arrive. After finding there were 6 possible ways for each village to arrive first, I multiplied the 6 flight orders by the 4 villages to solve the answer. #6 - Three hunters went on a moose- hunting trip. They purchased 75 gallons of gas, but only used 80% of the gas. How many gallons were used? If gas cost $5.79 per gallon, how much did each person pay for this moose- hunting trip? If they caught two moose and each moose weighed 527 pounds, how many pounds did each hunter get if they separated the meat equally? 75 *.80 = 60 gallons of gas #7 - Anna, Marcella & Heidi went berry picking. They gathered 6 gallons of salmon berries in 12 hours. How many quarts did they gather per hour? I know that half of 12 is 6, so they gathered 1/2 a gallon of berries per hour. And if there are 4 quarts in one gallon - that means the girls pick 2 quarts of berries per hour.

4 #8 - The cook works hard to prepare lunch for the whole school everyday. The principal created this table to see how long it takes to serve all the students. Minutes Students Served How many students did the cook serve in m minutes? Write an expression to solve this problem #9 - There are 8 large pizzas for the afterschool program celebration. With 38 students and 2 teachers at the celebration dinner, what fraction of the pizza does each person get? 1/5 of one large pizza = 40 people 40 divided by 8 = 5 Each pizza would have 5 slices; therefore each person would have 1/5 of one pizza #10 - The student work crew was hired to help elders do their daily household chores this summer. If Sam earned $63 working a 7- hour day, how was the rate of his earnings? 63/ 7 = $9 Sam earned $9 per hour If Sam worked weekdays (Monday Friday), how much money did he make in one month (4 weeks)? $63 * 5 days = $315 $315 * 4 weeks = $1, 260 Sam earned $1,260 per month

5 #11 Two boys went out to check their blackfish traps. The boys had put the traps up river. If it took the boys 30 minutes to travel 15 miles to the fish trap, how fast were they traveling? #12 Temperatures can bounce above and below zero throughout the winter season. Let s take a look at the temperatures for the first week of December. It was 8 degrees on Monday, 12 degrees on Tuesday, - 5 degrees on Wednesday, 1 degree on Thursday and - 23 degrees on Friday. What is the difference between the highest temperature and the lowest temperature for the first week of December? 12 (- 23) = 35 degrees
