Showing our thinking in different ways.

Problem solving - weight on PhotoPeach
Strong mathematicians show their thinking and understanding in different ways.  Look at how we solved this problem using numberlines, equations, data tables, words and pictures.  We even acted the problem out before we tried to solve it.  This helped us think more deeply about what the problem was asking us, and the maths and number we would be using.

Problem-

Toby is 3kgs heavier than Ben.
How heavy could they be?

We discovered that you could mould clay into different shapes.  We poked, prodded, cut, rolled squashed, flattened and shaped the clay.  It felt different when we added water to it.  Look at all of our amasing creations.
