Math Magicians

Today Room 13 had a tricky maths problem to solve after watching this YouTube clip.

  This was their problem... '5 bears went on a picnic. There were 2 tables. How many different ways can the bears sit at the tables?'

We had to use our counting skills, addition skills and problem solving skills to see if we could figure out the different ways the bears could sit at the tables.

Here is Nina's fabulous problem solving. Check out her hard work.

After reflecting on what we learnt, Room 13 realised it was all the different ways to make 5. How clever are they!
