Maths Problem

Wow I thought I was smart and then I realize \that I had nothing in my brain now let me tell you what happen.

We had this Visitor her name was Bina. First we did problems. This problem involve toothpicks and 9 squares. Now let me tell you now.First I started in 9 squares with some toothpicks. I started with 9 = 9 squares  and 4 = 4 toothpicks in each square so I did 9 x 4 = 36 and then I realize I did a BOO BOO)
Oops light bulb. I realize that I did things wrong "I realize" then I thought again about the question I looked back to the paper and I had it 9 squares and 3 toothpicks in each square + 1 so let me tell you.
9 x 3 = 27+ 1 = 28.
 So this is what I mean 9 squares 3 toothpicks in each square and + 1 which the other group did they lay it out and started to count how many toothpicks they weren't allowed to count like this 12345 they had to see what is a quick way to count how many toothpicks.
On this board it has squares and how we worked it out and our answer.we had to show our working out on our Maths book we had to show what we learnt and what we had wrong.

  2. Hey Mary, WOW you have done a great job with your maths group. I really liked the way how you took pictures of your group working so hard. It was really tricky when we had Bina! Anyway, you did a great job Mary. When Bina comes, I hope you get the questions right!!
