Art Day!
You are helping your 4th grade class organize an Art Day.
There will be three stations:
Painting
Pottery
Chalk Art
You have two tasks. You will help create the supply list and the schedule for Art Day.
Task 1: Supply List
You need to make sure there are enough supplies at each station for everyone to participate. You will use the following information to create a list of art supplies for your class.
There are 24 students in your class.
Each student needs - 2 paint brushes for the Painting Station, 3 pounds of clay for the Pottery Station, 5 pieces of chalk for the Chalk Art Station.
Task 2: Schedule
You also need to help plan the schedule for Art Day using the following information.
The day starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m.
Your entire class will rotate through three stations together.
The Break has to be at least 10 minutes.
The Break and Lunch together total 1 hour.
The three stations (Painting, Pottery, and Chalk Art) do not need to be the same amount of time, but each one has to be 30 minutes or longer.
According to the supply list, how many paint brushes are needed for 24 students?
According to the supply list, how many pounds of clay are needed for 24 students?
You need 120 pieces of chalk for Art Day. Your teacher has 6 boxes of chalk. Each box has 18 pieces of chalk. Is this enough chalk for Art Day?
Explain the steps you used to figure this out.
Your next task is to help plan the schedule for Art Day using the information from Task 2: Schedule.
Create a schedule for your class to follow on Art Day. You must follow the order given in the table. Write your answers in each box.
When the class went to the Painting Station at 9:00 a.m., the container of paint was completely full. After 6 of the 24 students got their share of paint, the paint level had dropped to the level shown in the following picture.

Katie thinks there is not enough paint for the rest of the students.
Do you agree with Katie? Explain why or why not. Use the information shown in your explanation.
