Can you work this problem out? Room 5 can!


Mr Pearse is selling lollies. He has 8 bags and can only fit 3 lollies in each bag. How many lollies will he need to buy altogether?

Miss Boaler gave us this problem to work out today. We are learning all about Multiplication (times tables). Multiplication is the number of groups x the number in the groups. 

Can you be as clever as Room 5 and work how many lollies Mr Pearse needs? Please post your answer and how you worked it out.

Here are a few photos of our amazing thinkers!
