In reply to Kazuki.

Dear Kazuki,

What a great question!

It would be great if you would survey the nationalities of children in our class. Then we can answer your question.

Your question also makes me wonder: What languages are spoken by children in our class?

Let’s keep collecting data!
Great thinking, Takumi!

Kind regards,

Ms O’Dwyer

Dear Ms O’Dwyer
I really like this math activity and I think Adam is funny. I have two parts of me that are the same as Adam. I want to know which country does Adam come from?

Kind regards,
Kazuki

Dear Ms O’Dwyer,

I like Average Adam because he is part of Grade 4. Also he is not real. I think that is cool too! But I can see him in my head for sure.

Kind regards,

I like the idea of Average Adam because its represents our class. And it was fun getting information about our class by maths.

In reply to Sang Won.

Dear Sang Won,

You are an excellent mathematician! I’m so glad you enjoy these investigations.

It’s interesting that you found 4 commonalities with our average student.

Nobody in our class matches the profile completely. Why do you think that is? What does that tell us about the data and about our class?

Keep up the great thinking.
Kind regards,

Ms O’Dwyer

Dear Ms.O’Dwyer

I really like topics about maths. It is my second favorite subject and also the subject I’m best at.

I have 4 things which are the same as Average Adam. This activity was so fun!

Ms.O’Dwyer, I have a question. Do you know a person who is really same as Average Adam?

Kind regards,

Sang Won
