We were happy to welcome Mme Page back into our Math classroom this morning.
She really made us think hard!
We started by watching THIS VIDEO and then shared what Math we noticed in the video.
Next, we watched the video again and came up what Math question we were going to try and solve. This was a different type of Math thinking for us, as we are usually told the question first.
Working in teams and using materials (post-it notes and a large paper to represent the large post-it note) we got to work to figure out how many small post-it notes it would take to cover the large one. At first, we estimated it would take 16, but then quickly noticed the fourth post-it in each row was a bit too big to fit.
How would we figure out the answer now?
After folding, drawing dotted lines, cutting and reorganizing our post-it notes... and using what we already knew about fractions, we were able to come up with a solution!
Do you think you could solve a question like this? Check out the video and give it a try!
Good luck! :)
