Heavy Animals

Room 7 have been exploring Rich Tasks and using a range of Problem Solving Strategies. Today we had to work out which was the best way to arrange the animals in the Vet shelves, so they didn't exceed the weight limits. Have a look at our blogs to see our strategies and reflections. Some people made diagrams, lots of people used a table and I showed how I used a spreadsheet could be helpful to keep the information organised.

Algebra Problem Solving!

Today we worked on......Algebra!
We needed to do a lot of problem solving to work through this problem. We started by looking at the upside down triangle. We first thought it might 1, but that didn't work. We suggest you start with the triangles!

We then worked on this problem,

Replace the letters with numbers to make the addition work out correctly.

	R	E	A	D
+	T	H	I	S
	P	A	G	E

And we are still working!

Number Knowledge

Here is a presentation that I have made to help with your Number Knowledge. It is a work in progress, with some slides not started yet. If you click on the image in the area that you need to work on, it will take you to a page with some links to sites that you can use to practice. This will allow you to improve your number knowledge.

Finding Factors
