Sausage Sizzle number problem

Keeping our learning relevant:

At our Sunnyhills School BBQ we had 6 rows of 8 sausages.
How many sausages is that altogether?

How did we work this out?? 

8 groups of 6= ?
5 groups of 6 is the same as 6 groups of 5 = 30 sausages and another 3 groups of 6 is 18 
30 + 18 = 48 

Mandy showed us on the abacus 
This is great to see the patterns of numbers. 

8 groups of 5 = ?
8 X 5 = 40
And
1 group of 8 = 40 + 8 = 48. 


Using our 5 X tables to work out a problem with our 6 times table can help us. 

Well done group!!
