Today we had Maths with Mrs Tofa. She gave us a warm up lesson that was " 6/4 = 2/4 " which i missed out on but never knew the answer to it. After sometime of the Warm up we then moved on to our actual maths question. The question was " You are making a fruit salad and need 2/3 of a cup of passion fruit. You have a 1/2, 1/4 and a ⅙ sized measuring cup. How will you measure the passion fruit? " For me & my group it was difficult because we didn't really get the problem so we struggled a little bit, then after 15 minutes Mrs Tofa called every in Tahi to the ground to explain their strategy & what they choose. Me & my group just sat their on the mat because we didn't get the Maths Problem that we were given. Me & my group thought about choosing ⅙ because it was the close to 2/3. So we never had anything written on our paper but here is the strategy the other groups did:
Strategy:
2/3 = ⅙
2 x 2= 4
2 x 3= 6
= 4/6
so we took it backwards to see if we are right so they did
4/6 ÷ 2 = 2/3
