Perplexing Puzzles
Over the last few weeks we have been working on number riddles! We used different strategies to solve them including looking at hundred chart patterns and using process of elimination.
Today we were practicing ordering numbers from least to greatest. We tried taking a picture but some of our numbers were not visible because of a glare.
For example, in the picture below, R's and J's numbers may be difficult to read.
In this picture, the S's number is a 4 digit number. The digit in the thousands place is blurry. In ___, 176 what digit could be in the thousands place?
Also, A's, O's and J's numbers are 5 digit numbers but the digit in the ten thousand place is blurry.
A's number: __ 8 , 765
O's number: __ 9,998
J's number: __ 9,999
What could those digits be?
Can you think of a riddle?
Your riddle must include at least three clues. Here are some different clues we have worked on:
-This number is odd
-This number is even
-The ones digit it three more than the tens digit
-The number equals the sum of the hundreds digit and ones digit
-The number is between 5 and 7
Direct your riddle to one friend. Ask them to solve the riddle using your clues. Your clues must make a number that fits within the number line!

Dear Evan,
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping me take pictures! I have a riddle I would like you to solve. Can you figure out the missing digit in O's number. _ 9, 998?
Here are some clues:
- It is an odd number.
- It is greater than the number in the ones place.
- It is between 5 and 10

Hi Mrs, B,
DeleteI have solved the riddle. I think the answer to the riddle is...9
The reason I think this is because 0s number on the picture is 9 and it was easy since there was only two answers that it could be. The number 7 and 9 are both odd numbers but 1 number is correct and the clue is that the number is greater than the number in the ones place. That number is 8 so it must be the number 9.

Dear Zoe,
DeleteSorry it took me so long to answer.
I think the answer is 9.
the reason I think that is because 9 is equal to 9.
9 plus 9 also equals 18.
9 is odd too.
