Norwood Public Schools - Summer Math 2014
Week 5 - August 4
When you build a boat, your goal is to make sure it won’t sink. So it’s funny that we’ve made a kind of boat that’s supposed to sink. Submarines are sea vessels that can seal themselves up and go entirely underwater, with record-breaking dives over 35,000 feet deep. To submerge (sink), they pull water into their tanks; to come back up, they push the water out of the tanks to become more buoyant and float. The first submarine ever invented was only 10 feet long, but today’s subs are as long as two football fields and weigh as much as 12,000 cars! No wonder they have no trouble sinking.

| A note from Mrs. Milton: |
Let's try out some math problems. Remember to continue to answer questions and complete tasks until you need adult assistance or you reach the end of your comfort zone. You may reach step 2, for some step 5 and for others you may go all the way. Each problem will present different challenges for each child.
