Clothes & Pegs

Term 2 Wk 2 problem of the week

     

How many pegs do we need to hang 10 T shirts if we use 2 for each T shirt

What if we have 14 pegs how many T shirts can we hang

Possible different ways you can use the pegs to hang your clothes 


This is how we solved this problem 

Setu, Taylen, Lucas & Miller working together sharing ideas and explaining their thinking in a group


Ivory & Tehillah using pictures, symbols and equations to explain their thinking 
Listen to how we explain our thinking as we are learning to solve problems together 



Challenge question
