The power of sours

Good day today working on summaries, division and looking at the regions of Tunisia. What a mix but it was a fun time.

Our division introduction featured the concept of equal sharing. Students were given random amounts of sour candies and sorted them into equal groups. Students were solving to the point that an equal group would not be possible then solving the problem by cutting up the remaining pieces. Others opted out of candies and their group was able to change the equal sharing groups to form an even group. Mathamagicians were appointed and we began working with a variety of different numbers. The multiplication and division seems to be coming along better than addition and subtraction. We will continue to work and build. Have a happy Tuesday.

Cheers

Mr.G
