Mrs Madden gave the school a challenge to see who could guess the correct amount of lollies in the three jars below.
Team 8 went and looked and then we had a discussion about how we could work it out.
Everyone had a different idea and everyone wanted to guess... BUT, Mrs Madden said we could only put in one guess per class.
What we did know is that we have to work out what jar A+ B + C =
Here are our guesstimates
After much discussion around how we could make one fair guess one clever person said...could we add them together and do something with the numbers??
So after Mrs Grant helped a little, here are all the numbers added together then doing something special called division.
So our final decision was let's put in 272 lollies as the total.
Mrs Grant wasn't at assembly last Friday, so doesn't know how many lollies there were in the jars or Who got to eat the lollies.
Was it us Team 8?
Were we close????
Well how did you go Team 8 as I wasn't at the assembly either? Can you please update me? Love the way that you all worked together to come up with an answer.
