Sunny Days Ahead

Welcome to Sunny Days Ahead This Twine Game runs through the major choices and challenges of the EscapeIF experience. Sunny Days Ahead targets grades 4 - 6 with a focus on Percentages. Global Competancy Framework Learning Objectives achieved by Sunny Days Ahead include: - N3.2.4 - Express percentages as fractions or mixed numbers - A3.1.3 - Solve problems involving percentages - A3.1 - Solve problems, including real-world problems, involving percent increases and decreases - S1.1.6 - Retrieve information from or construct pie charts and Venn diagrams (for categorical data) and line graphs and dot plots (for bivariate data) to represent data. ''Game Overview'' The players are planning their brother’s wedding and are tasked with using percentages to effectively plan the dinner and seat the guests! Players will be working with visualizing percentages, expressing and calculating percentages and comparing percentages. For the first activity, we encourage you to replace “Pizza” with any other circular-flat food item that your students would be most excited about. Feel free to also swap out the toppings with anything that your students would enjoy more. [[Act 1: The Banquet | banquet]]

After months of planning, your Brother’s Wedding is finally just around the corner. All that’s left to organize is the beg family dinner! Your brother has put you in charge of planning the event, and ensuring there is enough to eat for everyone! With the date rapidly approaching, you decide now is a good time to get started. All of the tables have been set and the venue is being decorated. The only thing left to do now is design the menu! Your guests have different preferences that break down as follows: 50% Fish, 30% Chicken, 20% Cassava Currently, you've sent out 50 invitations. Assuming everyone plans to attend the wedding: How many Fish meals should you prepare? (link: "30 Fish Dishes")[That's not quite right. Remember, 50% of your guests want fish, and you've sent 50 invitations!] (link: "20 Fish Dishes")[That's not quite right. Remember, 50% of your guests want fish, and you've sent 50 invitations!] (link: "25 Fish Dishes")[That's right! 50% of 50 is 25. Time to figure out how many [[Chicken Meals | chicken]] you should make!] (link: "10 Fish Dishes")[That's not quite right. Remember, 50% of your guests want fish, and you've sent 50 invitations!]

If you have sent out 50 invitations and 30% would like chicken, how many chicken dishes should you prepare? (link: "15 Chicken Dishes")[That's right! Now, we only need to figure out how many [[Cassava Dishes | Cassava]] to make!] (link: "20 Chicken Dishes")[That's not quite right. You've sent out 50 invitations and only 30% want chicken!] (link: "30 Chicken Dishes")[That's not quite right. You've sent out 50 invitations and only 30% want chicken!] (link: "8 Chicken Dishes")[That's not quite right. You've sent out 50 invitations and only 30% want chicken!]

If you have sent out 50 invitations and 20% would like cassava, how many cassava dishes should you prepare? (link: "6 Cassava Dishes")[That's not quite right. You've sent out 50 invitations and only 20% want cassava!] (link: "10 Cassava Dishes")[That's right! 20% of 50 is 10! [[Continue | toChef]]] (link: "15 Cassava Dishes")[That's not quite right. You've sent out 50 invitations and only 20% want cassava!] (link: "20 Cassava Dishes")[That's not quite right. You've sent out 50 invitations and only 20% want cassava!]

30% of the pie should have chicken! Which of the pie's below has 30% chicken. ''Pie A'' <img src = "PieA2.png"> ''Pie B'' <img src = "PieB2.png"> ''Pie C'' <img src = "PieC2.png"> (link: "Pie A")[That's right! 30% of the pie is close to 1/3! All we have to do now is [[Label|label]] the last portion.] (link: "Pie B")[That's not right, 30% of the pie is close to 1/3!] (link: "Pie C")[That's not right, 30% of the pie is close to 1/3!]

With this, we've effectively divided our pie for the wedding! <img src = "PieFinal.png"> We can now move on to planning for the day of the event! First up, the weather. [[Continue|actTwo]]

Today is Friday, and you realize that you need to know what the weather is going to be like before you can plan the dinner! This is going to be quite hard to guess on your own. It can be challenging to determine the weather just by looking at the sky! You think for a moment before producing two ways you could make a guess. 1. You could count how many times it has rained this week to determine what the percent chance that it rains today. 2. You could determine the percentage of rain for this month over the last two years to determine how likely it is to rain this year. For example, if the date is March 2024, we can look at March 2023 and March 2022. [[Use the Week|Option 1]] [[Use the Months|Option 2]]

You decide to count the number of times it has rained last week, and work from there. Between the four days of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, it has rained on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. How many times did it rain this week out of 4? (link: "1/4")[That's not quite right! It has rained on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday] (link: "2/4")[That's not quite right! It has rained on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday] (link: "3/4")[That's Right! It has rained 3/4 days! We can now calculate the [[percent|%week]] of rain this week!] (link: "4/4")[That's not quite right! It has rained on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday]

You decide to guess how likely it is to rain today by using the percentage of rain over a longer period of time. Two years ago, it rained 6/10 days. Last year, it rained 8/10 days. What was the chance of rain 2 years ago, if it rained 6 in every 10 days. (link: "20%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100] (link: "30%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100] (link: "50%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100] (link: "60%")[That's right! Now lets take a look at [[last year]]]

If it rained 3/4 days this week, what was the percent chance of rain? (link: "60%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100] (link: "75%")[That's right! All that is left to do is determine the [[likelihood|likelihoodweek]] of rain today!] (link: "25%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100] (link: "50%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100]

Impossible: 0% Unlikely: 1% - 49% Likely: 51% - 99% Certain: 100% Given the chance to rain is 75%, would you say it is: (link: "Impossible to Rain")[That's not quite right! The percent is greater than 0%] (link: "Unlikely to Rain")[That't not quite right! The percent is greater than 49%] (link: "Likely to Rain")[That's right! The percent is greater than 51% but less than 99%! It is now time to [[Seat the Guests]]] (link: "Certain to Rain")[That's not quite right! The percent is less than 100%]

What was the chance of rain last year, if it rained 8 in every 10 days. (link: "60%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100] (link: "70%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100] (link: "80%")[That's right! Now all that is left to do is determine the chance of rain [[this month]]] (link: "90%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100]

This year, you’ve noticed that it rains more than two years ago, but less than last year. So, it should rain more than 6/10 days, but less than 8/10 days. With this is mind, how much will it rain this month? [[7/10]] (link: "8/10")[That's not quite right! The number is more than 6/10 and less than 8/10] (link: "6/10")[That's not quite right! The number is more than 6/10 and less than 8/10] (link: "5/10")[That's not quite right! The number is more than 6/10 and less than 8/10]

That's right! What percent chance of rain is this? (link: "60%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100] (link: "70%")[That's right! All that is left to do is determine the [[likelihood|likelihoodmonth]] of rain this month!] (link: "80%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100] (link: "50%")[That's not quite right! To calculate percent, divide the numerator by the denominator and multiply the result by 100]

Impossible: 0% Unlikely: 1% - 49% Likely: 51% - 99% Certain: 100% Given the chance to rain is 80%, would you say it is: (link: "Impossible to Rain")[That's not quite right! The percent is greater than 0%] (link: "Unlikely to Rain")[That't not quite right! The percent is greater than 49%] (link: "Likely to Rain")[That's right! The percent is greater than 51% but less than 99%! It is now time to [[Seat the Guests]]] (link: "Certain to Rain")[That's not quite right! The percent is less than 100%]

The day of the wedding has finally arrived, and you only have one thing left to do. Plan the seating! You are currently expecting 19 guests. You have bought every table in town, and this is what you have: 1 Table of 10 people 1 Table of 4 people 1 Table of 5 people <img src="SeatingChart.png"> You were going to start randomly placing people down when your brother calls. Apparently, there is a very specific order in which people can sit! Your brother wants to make sure both families have a chance to meet each other! To this end, no family can take up more than 60% of a single table. There are 9 members of the brides family There are 10 members of the grooms family No family can take up more than 60% of a table [[Click here for a potential answer | answer]]

You hand over the order to the chef. The chef is thrilled to finally be able to get to work, but there's a problem! The chef baked one GIANT Pie for the whole wedding. You’ll need to help him split up the Pie to ensure the right amount of Fish, Chicken and Cassava meals are prepared! The Pie holds enough food for everyone, but you need to make sure 50% of the Pie has Fish, 30% of the Pie has Chicken and 20% of the Pie has Cassava. Which of the pies below correctly has 50% fish: ''Pie A'' <img src = "PieC.png"> ''Pie B'' <img src = "PieB.png"> ''Pie C'' <img src = "PieA.png" alt = "50% Pie"> (link: "Pie A")[That's not quite right. 50% of the pie is ''half'' of the pie!] (link: "Pie B")[That's not quite right. 50% of the pie is ''half'' of the pie!] (link: "Pie C")[That's right! 50% or half of the pie should be Fish. Let's mark out the [[30% Chicken | pieChicken]] next!]
