Mix group with Bina.

Talofa lava, Today I am going to talk about: What we did at maths time with Bina. At the first part she told us to read the problem, then she told us that there were 9 squares and there were 4 toothpicks in each square. How many toothpicks would she need to make a pattern like this that has 9 squares?
Firstly this is what we thought that we had to do, we thought that we had to do this but then we all went back and did the right thing.

This is a photo of my group which is Maxine,Ezekiel,and also Ivorn. we were working the answer out by doing this, We did 9 squares and 3 toothpicks but with ice block sticks. The 3 toothpicks are the stick that are square and this is what we did.

This is Mary's group which is Mary,Teili,and also Arohi,

They were trying to figure the problem as well but they did it wrong at first but they got there at the end.

This is us trying to do what bina is saying to us like do thirds do 9ths do 10th.

We tried as hard as we would do anything.

This is us trying to do what the problem say's on the peice of paper do it in order.

Just like this, Here is a photo of the problem.

This is a photo of the problem.

and the pattern is that there is one square the two squares the three squares.

and we had to make a pattern like this tha has 9 squares.

My group got the answer like this: so there were 9 squares and 3 toothpicks inside each square, then we did 9x3=27+1=28.

The answer is..... 28 because 9 squares x 3 toothpicks = 27+1=28.. 9x3+1=28
