Today for our rich task Ms Kirkpatrick gave us a word problem to solve out which included 7 students and $202 that had to be given out. I have worked collaboratively with Jeremiah. We found this word problem easy because there were a methods we used which was reading the word problem backwards. This sounds unusual but it helped Jeremiah and I found our answers. The person who received the most money was Melisa who earned $49 and the person who received the less money was Liz who earned $7. I enjoyed solving out this problem and hope to do another one that is based on money and fractions.
Hi Ofa, it’s great to see that you collaborated with your classmate Jeremiah on this maths task! I really enjoyed listening to your presentation this morning at the Manaiakalani HQ. I was very impressed with your learning around the Olympics and I particularly loved the whakatauki your group created for the NZ Olympic team. Thank you for taking the time to speak to us today. Nga mihi, Whaea Deb (Paparore School)
