Maths Problem Solving

Maths Problem Solving Mr Tia needed to share 35 meters of rope with four of his students to participate in a knot tying competition. How can we help him do this? 35 4 = 35/4 4 x 8 = 32 + 2/4 = 8 3/4 2/4 is 1/2 so: 4 x 8 = 32 + 1/2 = 8 ¾ This is a maths strategy that my student teacher Miss Lewis taught me. So after she taught me she gave me a problem to work out using the same strategy.
