Multiplication Magic!

We have been learning about Multiplication (grouping) and Division (sharing) all term, and yesterday we had a Problem-solving contest.  

eg. If you and 3 friends won 48 cupcakes, would you rather have 6 each, or share them equally between you? 

The Mathematicians in Room 15's Maths group worked with a buddy to solve similar questions: the key...read the question carefully, decide on the important numbers and the operation (x or /) and then choose the strategy to use!

The result...Maths superstars, well done! 

We are also trying to beat our time for Multiplication Loopy (a bit like Multiplication dominoes in a circle)...keep those thinking caps on!
