I've decided I can fit in a mathematical task in each drawer, and be rewarded with a chocolate when I get the right answer. As @drwolframhaller has given me more than 24 Lebkuchen, I get 2 if I get the answer wrong as a consolation prize.

The advent calendar is up, but devoid of chocolates this year. So, my German neighbour has come to the rescue with my favourite German sweets, #lebkuchen. Sadly, they are too plump to fit in the calendar drawer.

A thread of the first 2 weeks in the 2022 #mathadvent from @CMKContest
(a 12-tweet๐polar express๐of math challenges)
Days 1 and 2:
1 Dec 2022
Let us start a #mathadvent! Day 1
๐๐ฒ
Tell me, on this first of December:
What is this digit that I remember?
When added to 6 or divided by 3
It changes, but it doesn't cease to be
A positive digit.

#mathadvent 6 (after a question on the 2018 Math Kangaroo contest):
There now lives a young boy named John
Who likes puzzles, but solves them with scorn
Today's birthday's enough:
Made his age be 3/2 of
Digit sum of the year he was born.
How old is he?

@MATHnessTLDSB @vkgreerps Gr 4/5 Ss stuck with this tricky and sticky question! Great opportunities to reason and reflect! We say 13 people are needed. If Mr Marshallโs class has 26 students and they use the 6 minute unit, how many cookies will they decorate Friday? #tldsblearns
