Students: Write your answer in the comments area with your name/class
Teachers: please send photos of student thinking to Miss Breen :-)
Room 11 worked out that Mrs Nathan would need 15 Jelly beans. We drew 5 muffins and then we drew 3 jelly beans on each muffin. We counted to find out how many we needed.
ReplyDeleteRoom 4 says "Mrs Nathan will need 15 jelly beans to decorate her muffins". We solved this problem by skip counting in 3's.
ReplyDeleteRoom 4 says that there "are 12 onion rings on 2 sixths of the pizza". We know this because we drew a picture of a pizza with 6 slices. We had to make sure the slices were even. Then we drew 36 onion rings on the pizza. We saw 6 onion rings on 1 sixth of the pizza, and we saw there were 12 onion rings on 2 sixths of the pizza.
ReplyDeleteBella drew 5 muffins and put 3 jellybeans on each one. Then she counted all the jellybeans and got the answer 15.
ReplyDeleteWe have also posted some photos of Bella doing this on our classroom blog, if you want to see it.
Room 14.
Room 7 worked it out as...
ReplyDelete36 divided by 6 = 6 + 6 = 12 (we know that 6 x 6 is 36 so 36 divided by 6 is 6)
1 whole pizza divided into 6 equal pieces. 6 yummy onion rings fit perfectly on each slice evenly. So then we just add 6 and 6 (2 slices) to get 12.
To make sure we were right, we checked by physically drawing up our Hawaiian pizza on the board and adding the onion rings. You could then hear the.."oh I get it" from some. (:
12 sixths
