Sam builds a model house with multi-coloured bricks. He needs to use 480 bricks altogether. One fifth of the bricks are red. Half of the bricks are blue and one quarter of the bricks are yellow. The rest of the bricks are green.
How many of the bricks are green?
If Sam wanted to build another house which is a third bigger in size, how many more bricks would he need?
Pop into Class Y2N and explain your answers to Miss Nurse!
There are 24 green bricks. 160 would make the house a third bigger. I will show you how I did it on Monday Miss Nurse.
Fantastic work Evan. I can’t wait for you to show me how you worked it out!
24 are green and 160 more bricks.
Wow Caitlin, you are very clever! Can you tell me how you solved the fraction challenge so quickly.
