Each day we use our clever maths brains to work out how many people we have at school in Room 11.
Today Isaiah noticed that there were 10 boys on the first bus, because he could see 5 on one side and 5 on the other side. He knew that 5+5=10. Then we saw one more boy on the other bus. That made 11 boys.
Leytton saw that the girls had the same as the first boys bus, so that meant there were 10 girls.
Bella knew we could use our hard doubles to solve our problem. She knew that 10+10=20. But we still had one boy on his own bus and Bella knew this meant that we had 21 children at school today.
Aren't we clever!
Wow! Thank you for sharing your clever maths thinking - you are learning some great strategies like "doubles" to help you solve problems! Keep up the great work.
