Posing maths problems

 Kia ora

We have been learning about how to use Compatible Numbers. Compatible Numbers are any two numbers which add together to make a Tidy Number 

(a  number which ends in zero).  We had to choose two Compatible Numbers and another number. Then we had to think of a word problem which used our numbers and give the problem to a buddy to solve. Mrs Ogle, our maths facilitator, said this is called 'posing problems'.

Jack had $95 and Joe had $125 and kale had $262. How many do they have altogether.?

$95 + $125 =$220

$220 + $265 =$482

ski trip

This is me and my friend going up Mt Ruapehu  to go skiing in Happy Valley for the first time.    I thought that skiing was hard at first but luckily we had skiing lessons. The second day we went skiing we were hitting the jumps. It was cool! Some of as landed the jump and same didn't.
