Problem Solving with our families

Miss Johnson's sister brought Room 27 some chocolate Freddo Frogs. We want to know how many chocolate frogs we got.

We know:
There are 5 bags in the box. 
Each bag has 15 chocolate frogs. 

Can you work with your families to figure out how many chocolate frogs we have altogether? 

We have 5 of these packets. 
Write or draw your answer with your families at home. 

If anyone else at school can answer this problem, leave a comment below with how you solved it, so we can look. We have prizes for those people who do :)

  5. Peter draw 5 big circles and draw 15 little circles inside each circle. Peter then counted all the tiny circles. But we made it easier : 15+15=30.
    15+15=30. 30+30=60 then 60+15=75. So theirs 75 Fredo chocolates altogether. (Peter Rm 27)

  6. Peter draw 5 big circles and draw 15 small circles inside each big circle. Peter then counted all the small circles by using a simple problem solving which he can remember. This is 15+15=30. 15+15=30. Then 30+30=60. Then 60+15=75. Answer is 75 chocolates frogs altogether.

  8. Well done everyone, I'm glad you used the freddo's in such a cool way. Keep it up the good work. If I keep hearing good things about Room 27 from Miss Johnson, you may get a few more treats this year. - Erin Johnson (Miss Johnson's sister)
