Maths exercises

We ask our students to show us the answers written in a paper, once they have decided everything is all right.
Most of the times, they asked to the maths teachers things when they don´t know how to continue.

In the task Visit in Paris, not all of them are doing the same problem at the same time. There are students faster than others and we wait untill they make the mistake in the problem "Les Champs Elysées".
We had to explain that 3 h 36 min is not the same that 3,56 h several times. But at the end of the hour, when we asked for the papers, some of the students have written in them 3h 36min = 3,56h!

Where do we come from? (2) has been a hard task to my students. We could not finished all together.
I decided to give one exercise to one student and he should do it on the blackboard. In this moment some of the students paid more attention, and they were more interested in the task.

We have done all the others tasks. They enjoyed very much in Visit in París. It was the first mathematical task on line.
