We have been busy learning about multiplication and division strategies in maths this term. We do this through problem solving, which involves working collaboratively with a maths mate to solve real life problems and then sharing our thinking back as a class or in a small group. This gives us a chance to see a range of different ways of solving problems and it also means that we have to have a deeper understanding in order to share our thinking with each other.
One of today's problems was: 20 Mighty Minnows children turned up to watch Hoon Hay's Got Talent. Miss Turner told them to sit 4 to a seat. How many seats did she have to put out?

5x4=20 so 20÷4=5 |
