Making equivalent equations

We had a lot of fun working out the combinations of sweets we could have in our bags.
The question was "If you had a bag with 20 sweets in (some of us had different totals)  What kind of combinations might you have.  We were able to choose 3 or 4 different colours to make up our total e.g. 5 red sweets + 5 green sweets +5blue sweets +5 yellow sweets =20 sweets.

Aiden is using the beans to work out his combinations.

TeAtawhai and Zach worked together to find out different ways to make 12.

"This is fun" said TeAtawhai

Caitlin was getting so clever she didn't need to use the beans to help her work out the different combinations.  She was doing it in her head.  Careful work Caitlin!

Clever Charlie was working out combinations for 19.

Xiarn was able to do this task independently.  He made combinations for 21 using 4 different colours.
Well done Room 12 mathematicians!
