Task 1: Maths: Healthy Snack

In our class meet we posed the problem:

For a healthy snack, Mike put some strawberries and some pears on his plate.

There was an equal amount of strawberries and pears.

What might this look like?

Draw a different answer on each plate.

Write a number sentence to match each picture by recording:

• How many strawberries?

• How many pears?

• How many pieces of fruit in total?

Have a go at completing this task yourself.

Extend yourself by proving why your answers are correct and showing your thinking.
