Eteuati’s Maths Learning Story Term 3 2019 How do we solve a tricky math problem as a group? Eluama’s family in Tokelau tell him to get some coconuts. He climbs three different coconut trees. He climbed 3m up the first tree, 3.9m up the second tree and 2.2m up the third tree. His friend climbed 3 different trees.

Then we were comparing the first tree that Eluama climbed which was 3m and the second tree that he climbed wish was 3.9m so I added them together which = 6.9m. At that point, we had to add the third tree Eluama climbed, which was 4.3m so we add 4.3 to 6.9 and it =11.2 so that is how high Eluama climbed. The first tree that his friend climbed, he went 2.4m up so I add the first tree that his friend clim...
