CTS exercise grade five
As an AI language model, I can provide you with a CTS (Critical Thinking Skills) exercise for grade five students. Here's an example:
Exercise: Problem Solving with Critical Thinking
Scenario:
A group of friends want to have a fun day at the beach. They have limited funds, and they need to plan their day accordingly. They want to make the most of their time while staying within their budget.
Instructions:
Use critical thinking skills to answer the following questions and make decisions based on the given scenario.
1. The group of friends has a budget of $50 for the day. They want to go to a beach that charges an entrance fee of $5 per person. How many friends can go to the beach with that budget?
2. One of the friends suggests bringing their own food and drinks to save money. Is this a good idea? Why or why not?
3. The friends decide to rent a volleyball set to play at the beach. The rental cost is $10 per hour. They want to play for two hours. How much will it cost in total to rent the volleyball set?
4. The group of friends wants to rent a parasol for shade. The parasol rental fee is $8 for the whole day. Do they have enough money left in their budget to rent the parasol?
5. During their time at the beach, the friends notice that there is a local ice cream vendor nearby. They want to have a treat but only have $10 left in their budget. The ice cream costs $3 per scoop. How many scoops can they buy with their remaining budget?
