We have been learning about how to use Compatible Numbers. Compatible Numbers are any two numbers which add together to make a Tidy Number 

(a  number which ends in zero).  We had to choose two Compatible Numbers and another number. Then we had to think of a word problem which used our numbers and give the problem to a buddy to solve. Mrs Ogle, our maths facilitator, said this is called 'posing problems'.

Dog, Cat and Bob have some chickens. Dog has 6 chickens Cat has 4 chickens and Bob has 5 chickens how many chickens do they have all together? 

6+4=10

10+5=15
