Update: This contest is over.
Max and the rest of the Math Blaster team would like you wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving! We’re so very grateful to have Blasters, like your kids, in the ranks of the Intergalactic Space Patrol. And, although, turkeys are difficult to come buy on this outer space adventure, this day is definitely a reason to gather with friends and celebrate. So, send your kids over to the Party Board, now!
And in honor of this day, here are some simply silly Thanksgiving themed math problems for you and your kids to solve:
1. If the first Thanksgiving celebration in the US took place in 1621 and it’s currently 2011, for how many years have we been celebrating Thanksgiving?
2. If your Aunt bakes 5 pies and your cousin eats 2 of them and then she decides to bake 4 more, but then she drops 2 as she pulling them out of the oven, how many pies are left for the Thanksgiving table?
3. If your parents set up 3 tables that seat 6 people each, and there are a total of 15 guests coming over for Thanksgiving dinner, how many seats will be left open come dinner time?
4. There are 10 turkeys left on display at the grocery store and Mr. Smith comes in to buy 2. And after this, the grocer re-stocks the display with 5 more turkeys and Max comes in and buys 3 turkeys for his Blaster buddies, how many are left in the grocery store’s display?
Has your kid figured them out? Then have them submit their answers in the comment’s section, below, for a chance to win 5,000 Math Blaster credits. The first 3 players to enter the correct answers WIN! Feel free to ask your holiday guests for help and good luck, Blasters!
