"How could we figure this out?!..."


"What about if we put money into 5 groups of $42 and then count how much that adds up too?" 

"Lets try that..."

Could YOU work this out?...

*I bought some furniture. There was a lamp that cost $42, a mat cost half the price of the lamp and a table that cost 5 times as much as the lamp. How much did each item cost and how much did I spend altogether?

Yes we can! :) 
-by working together, thinking flexibly and creatively, and persisting :)

This learning has been inspired by 'Tuia 250' - the nationwide commemoration of the 250 year anniversary of James Cook's arrival, forever changing the landscape of our home. The children have been adding to the classroom TIMELINE and SLIDESHOW  (click on link to see slideshow) as we progress in our knowledge of Aotearoa from 1,000 years ago to present day...
