Here are Natalie’s weekly
activities. Today is Monday. What activity will she do
tomorrow?
In this problem, we’ve given a
table which shows us all the different activities that Natalie does over a week. The first row of our table shows
the days of the week from Monday through to Sunday. The second row of the table shows
us the activities that Natalie does on those days. We can see pictures and words to
describe them. On Monday, she goes to the
park. On Tuesday, she reads a book. She walks the dog on Wednesday,
plays football on Thursday. On Friday, she has music
lessons. And then it’s the weekend. On Saturday, she goes swimming. And she plays on the computer on
Sundays.
In our problem, we can see that two
words are written in bold. One of them is in the question. What activity will she do
tomorrow? And we know that the word tomorrow
means the day after today. So we could read the question as,
what activity will she do the day after today? Our answer to this question depends
on what day today is. If we’re watching the video on a
Friday, tomorrow will be Saturday. Or if we’re trying to solve the
problem on a Wednesday, tomorrow will be Thursday. If we look carefully at our
problem, we can see that we’re told the day. Today is Monday. And so, if today is Monday, we can
read the question as, what activity will she do the day after Monday?
Let’s find Monday on Natalie’s
table. We know that, in the days of the
week, Monday comes after Sunday and before Tuesday. So we can see that on Monday,
today, she goes to the park. What is the day after Monday? And what does Natalie do on that
day? The day after Monday is
Tuesday. And on Tuesday, we can see that
Natalie reads a book. And so, we can say if today is
Monday, tomorrow Natalie will read a book.
