Group 11's strategy today

If 6 children are wearing jumpers and that is 1/3 of the class.  How many in the whole class? 

Lizzie used her multiplication knowledge to work this out. 

3x 6= 18

Abby recorded this as 1/3 of 18 = 6 

Eden knows 

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 or 1 whole. 

So

6 + 6 + 6 = 18

There are eighteen children in the whole class.
