Year 3 get problem solving!

 Today, Year 3, looked at how we can use the 'draw a picture' method to problem solve. The children were tasked with solving the following problem - 

The shops on Plumstead Highstreet are 5 metres apart. Each shop is 12 metres wide. How long is a row of 10 shops on Plumstead Highstreet?

To help them in solving the problem, the children answered questions in thinking bubbles to support their thinking before they actually began their method.
