Maths with Bina

Problem solving 

Wow it was hard solving this problem today with Bina but not that hard so I'll tell you what happened:

Where do I start oh yeah we had a visitor today and she was here to help us improve in Maths. So we had a big,hard problem(not that hard) that we had solve together. So this problem involves toothpicks and 9 squares and pattern. First we had to solve it by ourselves and that was very hard to work by yourself,        but I knew not to give up. How many toothpicks to make 9 squares,well in each square had 4 toothpicks,and there are 9 squares but it's to hard,wait...

(Light bulb) Wait I know, if there is 9 squares and there are 4 toothpicks in each squares,by using my times I could do 9x4=36. Then we had to go into groups of 3 and we had to ask our team mates what we did and how we work it out.  In our group we had Ezekiel,Maxine and me(Ivorn). Then Bina said that we had to  get some ice block sticks and show what we did in our maths books and show them on the ice blocks sticks.

 It was hard but then we realize that we have done it all wrong,(booboo) we thought that it was 9 X 4 = 36 but then we realize ,that it was 3 X 9 = 27 + 1 = 28,because in each square has 3 toothpicks,and there are 9 squares so that means that 3 X 9 = 27 + 1 = 28.

 Wow in didn't know that it was going to be that hard but I kept on going. I learnt a lot in this problem like learning my times tables and what pattens mean and adding. I hope you have learnt something and you try this one day.
