Each week we start with a maths problem written as a story. We discuss the words in the story that give us clues on how we could solve the problem. Then work with a partner or small group using our whiteboards and maths equipment to solve it. The first part of this weeks problem was this ...
Our local Pizza Place has only two tables but they are quite big. If each table holds 7 people, how many people can be seated altogether?
Have a look at some of the ways we solved this problem.
The Chicken N Chips next door to the Pizza Place also has two identical tables.
The Chicken N Chips can seat 16 people. How many people can sit at each table?
What if there were 24 people, how many at each table?
What a variety of different ways you have come up with to solve this problem. Great work.
