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.
This is a Year 3 and 4 class blog at South Hornby School. We are in the Uru MÄnuka Cluster. This is a place where we will share our learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave a comment. Please check out our individual blogs as well.

Hi Sophie,
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!

ReplyDeleteI'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.
