Problem Solving

We're great problem solvers in Room 15. This week we have been practising the strategy of using a table or chart to solve a problem. Here we are in action...

WALT: solve problems using at least 2 strategies.
At the start of the year, Kerry had $12 in her piggy banks, and Romi had $4 in his. Kerry saved $2 each month, starting from January. Romi saved $3 each month, starting from January. In what month did they have the same amount of money in their piggy banks?










Balloon Car Design Challenge

Room 14 and Room 15 worked together to complete a balloon car design challenge. We had to build a balloon-powered car that would travel one and a half metres! 
Together we worked through the design process: 
Ask - Imagine - Plan - Create - Improve - Present











Football For Children

Room 15 had lots of fun learning some new skills at Football for Children!
