Activity: Task to be uploaded onto Google Classroom (see link below)
Students are to choose a chilli level from below and answer the questions and show, either in their maths book or with counters, how they worked each one out.
It would be best to have the question written next to their working also, so teachers can see which ones they were working on. There is a printable sheet here if that makes it easier to include, otherwise, students can simply write the story problem in their books. Students can also tell us which strategy helps them best and why?
