Word problems in Maths

This Term on the first week of school, we have been trying to solve out a word problem. We had to think of a strategy to use so we could solve the problem and also share with other groups.

What was the activity?
We had to get into groups of 3 or 4 and workout one big question that has three parts in it, that the teacher had set for all of us.

What strategy did your group try?
The strategy that my group tried to use to solve the question was place value.

What did you find challenging?
What I found challenging was working out how many seagulls or worms did we need and the multiplying and adding. I'm not really good at solving big numbers in multiplication.

How well did your group work together?
Were you successful.
My group was really quiet when someone was asking a question or asking if we had any ideas to help workout the question. I think my group wasn't successful because we didn't really talk as much and help solve question.
