Today in Math, students engaged in problem solving. We watched a short video: click HERE to watch.
We discussed what we noticed, what we think, and what we wonder about the video.
Students were given the task of figuring out how many M&M's each girl got. We very quickly realized, we need to figure out how many M&M's were in the bag! We each made an estimate. We know the bag is small and that it is the size of about two small hands. Here is our estimation process. Ask your child what we did.
The dad in the video told us there are 19 M&M's in the bag....students were asked...How many M&M's does each girl get? Please find your child's work below and have them explain their thinking.
We will continue to work on this tomorrow with the students.
Try it at home with some beans or grapes! How many ways and different combinations can you come up with! Share you work with us - email me a quick picture at sllaslo@cbe.ab.ca
