Easter Saturday: Miss Marydoll's Marvellous Maths Marathon

Whoops. Sorry Miss, I left the page on my PC overnight and didn't refresh, so I was just seeing messages up to the last time I used it. Glad your okay.
Happy Easter to you and all GNetters

Marydoll was very quiet yesterday. I hope everything alright with her. It is not like her to not pop in a remark to her pupils. I am worried about her.

Phew!
We've got a day off from mental gymnastics!

Thank you Miss, thank you!!
Eggsactly what we need.


Have a lovely peaceful Easter Sunday.

Please miss can I go to the top of the class as I got it right? ?
I wouldn’t have suggested you copy me if I wasn’t sure it was right (DH did it for me...don’t tell Miss ?)

I think you deserve a day off Miss. Hope you have a good rest and some lovely eggs ?

EXPLANATION: The number in the middle of the first circle is determined as follows: (8-4) x (3+2) = 20. The same rule applies to the second circle: (10-7) x (3+1) = 12. Therefore, following the same rule: (9-3) x (4+4) = 48.

48

Easter eggs all round!

I'm going to take a wee break tomorrow, back on Monday if you want to.

Squify if Doodle is wrong, we are all wrong. I wish Miss would put us out of our misery

Sorry Doodle, I had to shut my eyes when I came in (so as not to peek) and I didn't see you. Come sit by me now....and if one or both of us is wrong, we'll commiserate and share the marshmallow peeps I brought today.

Thank you Doodle, but are you sure you’ve got it right? It would look suspicious if we both got it wrong! ? ?

48

My Dh worked it out straight away. I've just got it and kicking myself . 48 .

I get 48, too.

Is the answer 48 Miss?
squiffy you can copy mine if you like. I won’t tell. ?

Sorry I’m late, too! My brain hasn’t engaged itself yet, I think its cogs are in the wrong order and it can’t work out today’s puzzle ? ‘Must try harder .....’

MissMiss*. Sorry I’m late I was waiting for willa so she didn’t feel bad coming in late. Somehow she sneaked in without me ?
I’ll sit down now and do my sums. Not going to look at anyone’s answers till I have finished. Is it a hard one today? ?

Good morning Miss Marydoll and everyone! Miss, I hope you're feeling much better today. It's a gorgeous, chilly day here in Pennsylvania, USA!

To avoid the virus, I decided to start this year's garden from (mail order) seeds. A friend also grew some tomatoes in pots quite successfully last year. Two (of the many) tomato seeds I started last week (in paper cups) just sprouted, so I'm very excited about that. Flowers should be coming up in a few days too.

OK enough of that.....Finished my coffee and made it in early to class today! (Bad headache until l saw the light)......If I figured out the rule correctly, the 'mystery' number is 48!

Why are there only three of us in class Miss

48

Oh dear, it's the heat getting to me Bathsheba
sorry

Whoops I think that is wrong

15

HINT: The rule involves the following three math operators: addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

No, it would be 7 I think

I'm now, because that's what I said - 7....

No, it would be 7 I think
I'm getting confused now.

Yes, it would.
But the first one didn't work out so I knew something must be wrong.

Only on the second one!

3 x 7 = 21
21 - 10 = 11
11 + 1 = 12

Don't try this at home.
