Math Plus Warm Up: Cats And Mice


Give one or two warm up problems at beginning of every math class. Encourage students' discussions and be open minded to different possible answers.



















Answer:
From the first sentence we have that 1 cat can eat 1 mouse in 10 minutes, which means that 1 cat can eat 10 mice in 100 minutes, so 100 cats can eat 100 × 10 = 1000 mice in 100 minutes.
