TASK 17
Sta Meeting Seating
Strand: Algebra
Objective: Students will extend and apply their knowledge of arithmetic in creating
algebraic expressions and equations.
Task Overview: Each month the members of staff of Eagles Primary school have staff
meeting. Usually all the members of staff attend. One evening the male custodian was
absent so Mr. Thompson asked the boys of grade five to assist him with setting up the
conference room for the staff meeting. He is setting 20 tables in a line and needs to know
the number of chairs to add for each table. He wanted to request the chairs from storage
so he asks the boys to help him determine how many chairs he will need before setting
out all the tables.
