4 Assessment tasks and sample responses (continued) Cats and kittens Here is a poster published by an organisation that looks after stray cats. Work out whether this number of descendants is realistic. Here are some facts that you will need: Sample response: Alice Sample response: Ben Sample response: Wayne Sample response: Sally and Janet Two students worked on this task, discussing and sharing their methods. They used a spreadsheet. We think 2000 is a bit much in 18 months because even if each litter was 6 and nothing dies there would be 1860 though that rounds to 2000 so maybe its OK. The cat people want owners to have their cats newtured so that they use the bigger number so that people say that is a lot of cats and rush to the vets.
