Problem Solving with Yummy Stickers

We have been practising how to solve a maths problem.

Here's a real problem we had last Friday, this was tricky for Year 1's.

Problem:  

We have got 97 stickers on our Yummy Chart.  The Yummy Chart has 100 spaces on it. 

Question:

How many more stickers do we need to make 100?

Clues:

We had a look at the Problem and found these number clues.  97, 100.

We found the word more and thought that this meant that we had to add 

something. +

Think Time:

We looked at the chart and also the 100's board.

Buddy Share & Feedback:
Raksha looked at the 100's board and counted 1, 2, 3. We need 3 more stickers.

Charity and Betty looked at the 100's board and counted 1, 2, 3 in their heads.  We need 3 more.

Anjola and Kai knew that 97 + 3 = 100.  They saw 97 in their heads and 3 spaces and knew it would be 100.

We did need 3 more Yummy stickers to make 100.

Number sentence:

97 + 3 = 100

And guess what?

We now have 100 stickers on our Yummy Sticker Chart.

Keep bringing in those Yummy Stickers.  I wonder if we will get to 200, before the end of the year?
