Evil Oompaloompas and Wicked Witch of the West
Ariella, 6J, Louis-Honoré Fréchette P.S.
Willy Wonka was five when his Dad brought an evil oompaloompa home to the chocolate factory. The evil oompaloompa ate three chocolate bars, ten bags of jelly beans and five gumdrops. The next day, the Wicked Witch of the West visited the chocolate factory and ate twenty cotton candies, four gobstoppers and two jawbreakers. The evil oompaloompas and the wicked witch of the west meet up. Who ate more? What is the total amount of candy they ate?
Anxious Fans
Rebecca K., 6J, Louis-Honoré Fréchette P.S.
Hannah Montana had three concerts in one day. She had 333 fans in the audience in each concert that day. One hundred and eleven of those fans were male. What fraction were female?
Then, one school got a free trip to go to Hannah Montana's concert for being such good students. In the door came 124 students anxious to meet this celebrity. A quarter of those students were 13 years old and the rest were 12. Name in fractions the total students who were twelve years old. How many twelve year old students were there?

Favourite Fish
Jacob was so excited. His Dad gave him one dollar for helping rake the leaves. He ran to the pet store to buy some more fish for his fish tank. "I love guppies" said Jacob to the salesman "but my favourite fish are goldfish". The guppies cost 25 cents each and the goldfish cost only 10 cents. Hmmmm......... can you help Jacob decide how many guppies and goldfish he should buy?
How much money does he have left?

Run, run, as fast as you can...... there are bumblebees everywhere. Suzy and Tanya had the misfortune of running through a field of clovers. Suzy had 53 bumblebees chasing her. Tanya had 108 bumblebees buzzing around her feet. Who do you think was stung first, Suzy or Tanya? Why? How many more bumblebees were chasing Tanya than Suzy?
