Problem Solving

On Friday we did a range of problem solving activities for Maths.

One of our activities involved estimating. We found out this means to think hard and make a sensible guess.

Our problem was: How many cubes does it take to make a 1 metre tall tower?

We estimated:

Marcus - 15 Kathryn - 60

Taine - 30 Matthew - 60

Haylee - 50 Liam - 50

Jarrad - 10

Then we measured and found the actual answer.

Results: It took 54 cubes to make a 1metre tall tower. None of us were correct but Liam and Haylee were the closest.
