First
we wrote our question. Then we read and
discussed our question. Next we decided
that this was a multiplication question.
We said that the numbers that we needed to solve our Maths question were
5 and 2.
Roneeza
and Mo’onia used their 2 Times Tables knowledge to solve our question. They said,
5 X
2 = 10
And
5
lots of 2 = 10
Bryan
and Angelina used their 5 Times Table knowledge to solve our question. They said,
2 X
5 = 10
And
2
lots of 5 = 10
The
rest of us used our skip counting knowledge to solve our question. We skip counted in two’s because the packets
of lollies cost $2.00 each. We said,
2,
4, 6, 8, 10,
