Samoan Language Week - Maths Fun

As part of Samoan Language Week we have been solving some Samoan themed math problems.
Here is today's problem and how we solved it.

  1. Hi Sophie,
    What a great math question and I love that it is linked with Samoan language week. It has made me think about including questions like this in some of the math work I give my students.

    I agree with your answers. 6x1 = 6, 6x3 = 18 so 6x5 = 30 therefore there must be 30 flowers on 5 siapo cloth.

    I have a question for you. If you have 3 flowers on 1 cloth how many would 6 cloths of the same number have?

    Thanks for sharing Sophie!

  2. Fa'afetai tele Sophie!
    I'm disappointed that I didn't do some Math like this with my class Sophie!
    We had a fabulous celebration for Samoan language week, including a number of our learners wearing Samoan shirts. The Samoan flag flew from our flag pole, in place of the usual New Zealand one.
