Tini’s Maths learning Story

The Problem:  

Planting Trays 2 We are preparing to grow some seeds to plant on the bank down to the basketball court. Alicia has offered us some bigger trays.  They hold 12 plants each. How many trays will we need if we want to grow 150 plants?? What different ways can you solve this?

How we solved the problem:

First I read the problem and then I did a t-chart. thenI did 144+12=156   next plant plant plant plant plant plant                                                                                        I didn't plant this because there's 12                                                                                       plant in one tray and if you take away                                                                                        6 from the 12 you get 6 and you can                                                                                    take away 6 from the 156                                                                                 Because 156 take away 6=150.                                                                                  And we used 13 trays to plant 150 plants.
