Good morning all, the Bearded Dragon has decided not to cover my class today, as she has heard how tricky you all are, even for her! ?. You have had a very narrow escape!

I borrowed today's puzzle from site called Anthony's Maths Mash up.
He did have some tricky puzzles, involving jelly beans, but I was struggling to work out the answers, so I left it for another day. blush

Hint, it's not as tricky as it looks. If you are finding it hard, I will come back later with some help.

Marydoll Tue 21-Apr-20 18:13:15

Oh Sqiffy, so sorry, you were on my list, but I spilled my gin water, as I was typing your name. ?

trisher Tue 21-Apr-20 18:10:29

Squiffy I think Miss might have given me your apple by mistake (I blame the gin). But it's too late now I've eaten it!

Squiffy Tue 21-Apr-20 17:48:46

Marydoll Tue 21-Apr-20 17:10:24

Well class I'm back and I'm not happy.

I heard that Miss Supply Teacher has left the building, she finished the contents of her hip flask, couldn't cope with all the shenanigans. ?

Here are the pupils who got it correct:
Saxifrage, (our new pupil ?)
Bathsheba ?
Doodle ?
Trisher ?
Wila. ? (Thank you for your explanation.)

Callistemon, how many times have I asked you to check, check and double check.

You were nearly there, but your answers added up to 260.
I'm going to give you a consolation prize of an apple, but someone took a bite out of it. It's a bit brown around the edges. sad

Bathsheba Tue 21-Apr-20 17:09:45

You jus weight till I see that Domnik angry. He's telling lies about me cos I beat him in the sak race on sports day. He sed he wud tell evryone he'd been french kissing me. Yuk. Bleurgh, I feel sik jus thinkin bout his tung in my mouth. Right, that's it. He's for it angry

Doodle Tue 21-Apr-20 16:12:46

bathsheba wot was you doing behind the boys’ bike shed then huh? I know all about you from Jimmy’s friend Domnik. So don’t you go tellin tales on me.
feelingmyage wot took you so long? You bin behind the bike shed too? ?

Feelingmyage55 Tue 21-Apr-20 15:39:25

Miss, it took ages cos they were talking.

Feelingmyage55 Tue 21-Apr-20 15:35:45

Pink 25
Yellow 40
Blue 80
Green 105

trisher Tue 21-Apr-20 14:59:01

Ooh willa you can do persintages! You are clever! Can I change the colours? cos I think there should be more pink ones!

willa45 Tue 21-Apr-20 14:41:45

Made it! What's this I hear? Whew! We did it Pantglas! We spooked the bearded "Snapdragon"! Trisher, not to worry.....You can always change the colors on the squares to match your answers.

Everyone else.....I'll leave you to it, while I put on my
Drinking Thinking cap and post my answers.

Miss, I didn't use fractions, I used percentages and came up with...

Green is 42% of 250 = 105
Pink is 10% of 250= 25
Blue is 32% of 250 = 80
Yellow is 16% of 250 = 40
250

PS. Art is a hobby of mine, so may I say also that even though the colors are different, they are all of the same value smile

Bathsheba Tue 21-Apr-20 14:22:34

Wotcher mean Doodle, 'try new fings'? Don't fink I avent seen you behind the boys bike shed sharing a bottle of Gordons wiv Jimmy in year 6!

Callistemon Tue 21-Apr-20 14:19:37

At last, the scary supply Miss is here.
As quick as a flash, she tried to get the class to order
Notwithstanding all the silliness, she shouted 'Order, Order'
As fast as they could, the class all ran away giggling.

Was that good, MissSupplyTeacher?
