For the last 2 days in maths interchange we have been problem solving some questions about worms and seagulls in a paddock. We have been working is groups of 4 to complete these questions. Our teacher wroted questions on the board about problem solving.
What was the activity?
The activity was seeing how much worms would the seagulls eat to be full. This is one of the questions.
It has been raining in a paddock 273 worms have come to the surface. The seagulls are gathering. Gulls are satisfied if they eat 11 worms in one sitting, How many gulls can be satisfied by the worms in the paddock.
What strategy did your group try?
My group tried 273 divide by 11 and we counted in 11's to get the answer. The answer was 25 and there was 7 worms extra left.
What did you find challenging?
I found challenging was doing all the work by myself because they wernt helping.
How well did your group work together? Were you successful?
We were successful by getting the work done on time and getting the answers. We were successful and not successful because we weren't doing team work and they did help with some of the questions. We were successful because we got the work done.
