How Many Children Show Ready, Respectful, and Safe?

Imagine:

• There are 350 children in our school.
• There are 75 schools in Swansea.
• There are 1,500 schools in Wales.

Tasks:

• Year 4:
  If 1 child in our school is Ready, Respectful, and Safe, how many children would that be in 75 schools?
  (Hint: Multiply by 75)

• Year 5:
  If 10 children in each Swansea school show these behaviours, how many children is that in total?
  (Hint: Multiply and then add if needed)

• Year 6:
  If 12 children in each Welsh school show these behaviours, how many children is that across Wales?
  Then, subtract 500 to find out how many more children we need to reach 20,000.
  (Hint: Use multiplication and subtraction)
