QR Challenge: 5th Grade Unit 1 Math Study Guide

Created using the ClassTools QR Treasure Hunt Generator

Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to

• Download a QR reader (e.g. I-Nigma | NeoReader | Kaywa) onto their mobile devices
• Bring these devices into the lesson.

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.

---

B. The lesson:

1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.

2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.

3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!

Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question	Answer
1. 23 + 7 - 2 x ( 6 + 4 )
2. 35 ... you first do 11-9, then 3x2, which leaves you with 27 + 6 + 2, which equals 35
3. The expression equals 33. You should have also written an expression that equals 33. Check your work now!
4. An expression that correctly shows how much each person pays is [(24x5)+(5x5)+10] / 5 .... And the answer is $31.
5. A: ( 10 + 14 ) / 4 + 5 = 11 and B: ( 18 + 10 ) / 2 + 9 = 23 ... so A < B
6. The 2 gets 100 times smaller from A to B.
7. Yes, those expressions are equivalent, because they both equal 23,000
8. Harry will pay $459 per payment.
9. There are a lot of options! 10x30, 30x10, 12x25, 25x12, 15x20, and 20x15.
