Today's maths challenge was to add up all the children in our families and finding out what the total was. We needed a system to count up all of the children.
We came up with lots of ideas. We had to compromise and find a solution. We decided to make a tally chart. Lucy wrote the numbers of children in the each family. Then she asked people to put up their hands and share how many children were in their family.
After we had completed our tally chart some of us had a go at working the total out. Pearse showed us how he counted in 2s, 3s, and 4s to get the total. Hayden showed us how you could solve this quicker by multiplying the numbers.
Great work Pearse!
