We have been trying to add and subtract different numbers.We have been doing okay but Mrs Nugent decided that we would be do better if we were a bit more practical in our approach. So we have been looking at problems and finding all possibilities. We looked at a problem called Bean-bag Buckets. Mrs Nugent had four pots and 3 balls, we had to throw the balls into the pots to see how many combinations of numbers we could make. It was lots of fun throwing the balls and most of them went into the pots!! Then we recorded our findings into our books or onto whiteboards. It was much easier when we 'acted out' what we were doing (throwing the balls). What do you think of our work?
