Happy St. Patrick's Day

Early Childhood:

At the end of a rainbow, a leprechaun found two pots of gold. One pot had 31 pieces of gold. The other pot had 24 pieces of gold. Which pot of gold had more pieces? How many more pieces of gold did it have? Write an equation to show your thinking.

Upper Elementary:

Some people believe that four leaf clovers, rabbit’s feet, or certain numbers are lucky. What’s your lucky number? (If you don’t have one, pick a number between 1-100). Is your lucky number prime or composite? Is your lucky number a multiple of 5? A multiple of 2? Explain how you know.

Middle School:

In a field of three-leaf clovers, there were a total of 10, 329 individual clovers. Write an equation that equals 10,329 in at least three different ways, using parentheses, order of operations, and multiplication, division, addition or subtraction.
