Sum 51

Hello, friends of learning!

Thank you for your patience... blog-posting technology was just not working in my favour this afternoon! 😐

Anyhow.

Today in Math, we tried something new! Working (standing) at vertical non-permanent spaces (ie. the white boards), in randomized groups of 3, with only one whiteboard marker to share, we set out to work through the following question:

Sum 51: How many six-digit numbers are there whose digits sum to 51?

After reviewing important vocabulary (sum: la somme (answer to an addition question), digit: un chiffre), we were on our way!

Please ask me: How did my group work together? Did we have a strategy? Did our strategy change over the course of the lesson? What did we notice? How many 6-digit numbers did we find? Did we find them all?
