clever cuckoos
(reading)
a glossy, black-feathered bird flew to a gum tree and perched on one of the branches. his loud call sounded like coo-ee. a pair of peewits dived on the strange bird in order to drive him away from their territory. while this was happening the black birds mate quietly flew to the peewits nest. her feathers were brown and spotted with white. she laid an egg beside the three others that were already there and she flew away. her mate had cleverly lured the peewits from their nest and saved her the trouble of building one of her own. the two strange birds were cuckoos. the baby cuckoo duly hatched and, being larger than the young peewits in the nest, pushed them out to their death. it became the only baby and was brought up and fed by the unsuspecting peewits. finally it flew away to find another cuckoo for a mate.

(1) what bird laid an egg in the peewits nest?
(2) was the black bird male or female?
(3) which word tells us that the black birds feathers were shiny?
(4) circle the word that best describes the black bird. kind, helpless, silly, cunning
(5) do you think cuckoos generally build nests?
(6) what kind of bird killed the baby peewits?

{ "quality": "clear", "question_count": 17, "skills_matched": [ "direct_cot", "explain_then_answer", "tutor" ], "needs_drawing": false, "concepts_used": [ "Unit Conversion" ], "new_concepts": [ "Reading Comprehension", "Vocabulary Matching", "Place Value" ], "current_concepts": [ "Reading Comprehension", "Vocabulary Matching", "Multiplication", "Unit Conversion", "Square Numbers", "Place Value" ] } ## Analyze the reading comprehension questions We read the passage "Clever Cuckoos" to answer questions (1) through (7): - (1) "What bird laid an egg in the peewit's nest?" The text states: "She [the black bird's mate, which is a cuckoo] laid an egg beside the three others...". Thus, the bird is a cuckoo (or the black bird's mate). - (2) "Was the black bird male or female?" The text says: "A glossy, black-feathered bird flew to a gum tree... His loud call sounded like 'coo-ee'." The pronoun "His" indicates the black bird was male. - (3) "Which word tells us that the black bird's feathers were shiny?" The text describes the bird as "A glossy, black-feathered bird...". The word is "glossy". - (4) "Circle the word that best describes the black bird." The options are: kind, helpless, silly, cunning. The text describes how the male bird lured the peewits away so his mate could lay an egg in their nest, which is a clever/deceptive strategy. Thus, "cunning" is the best descriptor. - (5) "Do you think cuckoos generally build nests?" The text says: "Her mate had cleverly lured the peewits from their nest and saved her the trouble of building one of her own." This implies they lay eggs in other birds' nests rather than building their own. Thus, "No". - (6) "What kind of bird killed the baby peewits?" The text states: "The baby cuckoo duly hatched and... pushed them out to their death." Thus, a cuckoo (or baby cuckoo). - (7) "Which word means 'at last'?" The final sentence starts with: "Finally it flew away...". Thus, the word is "Finally". ## Analyze the vocabulary matching questions We match the occupations listed in the box (ranger, optician, undertaker, milliner, tanner, seamstress) to their definitions (8) through (13): - (8) "sells eyeglasses": optician - (9) "sews for a living": seamstress - (10) "arranges funerals": undertaker - (11) "makes women's hats": milliner - (12) "makes skins into leather": tanner - (13) "park supervisor": ranger ## Solve the mathematics questions (14) to (17) - **Question (14):** First, let's calculate the six multiplications: - $a = 45 \times 56 = 2520$ - $b = 37 \times 48 = 1776$ - $c = 65 \times 73 = 4745$ - $d = 76 \times 89 = 6764$ - $e = 54 \times 67 = 3618$ - $f = 58 \times 98 = 5684$ The numbers given in the box are: 3618, 2520, 5674, 1776, 6754, 4745. Let's match our calculated answers to the box: - $2520$ is in the box (matches $a$). - $1776$ is in the box (matches $b$). - $4745$ is in the box (matches $c$). - $6764$ is NOT in the box (the box has 6754). Thus, $d$ has no answer in the box. - $3618$ is in the box (matches $e$). - $5684$ is NOT in the box (the box has 5674). Thus, $f$ has no answer in the box. Therefore, the two multiplications that have no answer in the box are **d and f**. - **Question (15):** Using the **Unit Conversion** knowledge point, we convert the measurements to millimetres ($\text{mm}$): - $1.7\text{ cm} = 17\text{ mm}$ - $0.8\text{ cm} = 8\text{ mm}$ - $2\frac{1}{2}\text{ cm} = 2.5\text{ cm} = 25\text{ mm}$ - $1\frac{1}{5}\text{ cm} = 1.2\text{ cm} = 12\text{ mm}$ Now, we add these 4 answers together: $$17 + 8 + 25 + 12 = 62\text{ mm}$$ - **Question (16):** "Write the missing square numbers in the series 25, ......, ......, ......, 81, ......, ......" The sequence represents consecutive square numbers starting from $5^2 = 25$: - $5^2 = 25$ - $6^2 = 36$ - $7^2 = 49$ - $8^2 = 64$ - $9^2 = 81$ - $10^2 = 100$ - $11^2 = 121$ The missing numbers are: **36, 49, 64, 100, 121**. "Add your 6 answers": The question asks to add the 6 answers written in the blanks of this section (the 4 converted millimetre values from the line above, plus the sum of those 4 values, plus the missing square numbers, or simply the 6 values filled in the blanks of the square numbers series). Looking at the layout, the series has 5 blanks: 36, 49, 64, 100, 121. The 6th answer refers to the sum calculated in (15), which is 62. Let's sum these 6 values: $$36 + 49 + 64 + 100 + 121 + 62 = 432$$ - **Question (17):** We compare the place value of the left-hand 3 and the right-hand 3 in each number: - (a) **37 637**: - Left-hand 3 is in the ten-thousands place: value is $30,000$. - Right-hand 3 is in the tens place: value is $30$. - Ratio: $\frac{30,000}{30} = 1000$ times. - (b) **376 390**: - Left-hand 3 is in the hundred-thousands place: value is $300,000$. - Right-hand 3 is in the hundreds place: value is $300$. - Ratio: $\frac{300,000}{300} = 1000$ times. - (c) **3 118 439**: - Left-hand 3 is in the millions place: value is $3,000,000$. - Right-hand 3 is in the tens place: value is $30$. - Ratio: $\frac{3,000,000}{30} = 100,000$ times. - (d) **403 635**: - Left-hand 3 is in the thousands place: value is $3,000$. - Right-hand 3 is in the tens place: value is $30$. - Ratio: $\frac{3,000}{30} = 100$ times. ## Reading (1) cuckoo (or the black bird's mate) (2) male (3) glossy (4) cunning (5) No (6) cuckoo (or baby cuckoo) (7) Finally ## Vocabulary (8) optician (9) seamstress (10) undertaker (11) milliner (12) tanner (13) ranger ## Mathematics (14) d and f (15) 17 mm, 8 mm, 25 mm, 12 mm Add these 4 answers together: 62 mm (16) Missing square numbers: 36, 49, 64, 100, 121 Add your 6 answers: 432 (17) (a) 1000 times (b) 1000 times (c) 100,000 times (d) 100 times { "subject": "Others", "question_type": "Multi-part", "knowledge_point": [ "Others", "Others", "Multi-Disciplinary Worksheet" ] }
