Prime numbers

When my teacher was asked about his age, he answered:

 “My age number is a prime number*, but if you reverse the digits the new-formed number can be divided by 5. Moreover, I wish I live up to this age”.

Can you find my teacher’s age?

*prime number is a number that can be divided only by 1 and itself e.g. 11 is divided only by 1 and by 11.

Πρώτοι αριθμοί

Όταν ο δάσκαλός μου ρωτήθηκε για την ηλικία του, απάντησε:

«Η ηλικία μου είναι πρώτος αριθμός αλλά, αν αντιστραφούν τα ψηφία διαιρείται με το 5 και ελπίζω να ζήσω τόσα χρόνια».

Πόσων χρονών είναι ο δάσκαλος;

Greetings from Drama, Greece

Hello dear partners

We are the 6^th grade of 13^th primary school of Drama, Greece.

We are happy to join you in this project.

I’m sending regards on behalf of the pupils

Dimitra Theodosiadou

Hello from Estonia!

First of all - we are very happy to be involved in such a great project!

Our students have already solved some of the problems. We've had lots of fun!

Now, I'd very much like to post photographs of students' notebooks as answers to this blog but it seems that it isn't possible to post any images as

a comment.

I think pictures from notebooks would make this project even more lively, and it would be very interesting to see how kids from different countries find answers and what the layout looks like.

Can we do anything about it? Of course, several kids work on the same problem, but only the best looking/right solution would be published here. Being published would be

as a prize for kids and I'm sure it'd motivate students to work harder.

Anyway, I'll post our best solution to the fox-bear-fish-problem here.

The author is Silver, Year 1.

All the best!
