Amazing Maths Problem Solving in Room 3

Today we worked with Mrs Wallace (Cara) to solve the following problem:
Mother Bear wanted to make a new coat for each of her 3 bear cubs. If each coat needed 3 buttons, how many buttons did Mother Bear need altogether?
We were able to use equipment (pictures of bears and stickers) to help us solve the problem. We were then able to count the stickers and discovered that Mother Bear would need 9 buttons altogether.
Fantastic problem solving Room 3!
