Scientists have warned us that this summer is on record to be the hottest one ever in recent history! Be sure to stay in the shade and drink lots of water while having fun this summer! This week, Mathnasium is releasing a few math practice problems with the theme of staying cool in the summer weather!

Math Tutor / Tutoring - summer camp

1. During normal 70 degree weather, Jane drinks 2 liters of water a day. With each 5 degree increase in temperature, Jane will drink 0.1 more liters of water. How much water will Jane drink when the temperature reaches 110 degrees in the summer?

2. During cross country summer conditioning, runners must drink 0.4 liters per mile. If there are 32 runner doing summer conditioning, and if each runner runs 5 miles per day, how much water must be provided to nourish the team?

3. During a week in July in Phoenix, Arizona, the temperatures outside for different days are 113, 114, 117, 110, 111, 108, and 111 degrees. What are the mean, median, and mode for the temperatures during that given week?

4. During the summer, air conditioning costs $12.50 per day per house. If there are 500 houses in a community, and the air conditioning is on in all houses for 30 days, how much does the community spend on air conditioning?

We hope that you were able to practice your math skills with these practice problems! Remember to stay cool this summer! Visit the Mathnasium of Palo Alto-Menlo Park for more fun ways to learn math!

Last summer, one of my friends traveled to India to learn about the culture. He stayed there for 2 months! Even though it was definitely very exciting, I’m sure that he still made some time to refresh his math skills. Here are some math problems to do after a long day of travel!

1. Amy’s plane took off at 6:20. If the flight is projected to be 4 hours and 34 minutes, when will she arrive at her destination?

2. India is 8,431 miles from the U.S. If a plane has already flown 6,126 miles after leaving the U.S., how much farther does it need to fly to reach India?

3. If a plane flies at 400 miles per hour, how long will it take the plane to fly 1,500 miles?

After working hard for 9 months in school, summer is my favorite time to kick back and relax. During the summer, I like to wind down with a good book and a cool drink, and read the day away. However, I always make some time for math so that I don’t completely forget what I learned the past year. Here are some math problems to do after a day of relaxation!

Math Tutor / Tutoring - Summer Camp

1. Matt is reading a 100 page book. How many pages must he read every minute if he wants to finish in 2 hours?

2. If 3 books cost $9.60, how much does one book cost?

3. Andrew is 34 pages through a 124 page book. How many pages does he have to go before he is halfway through the book?
