SSS

Hi my name is John and this is my sss (students sharing strategies) I had a group, Paula, Yonaton and I (John). The challenge was that we had to find out how to solve the problem and what strategie to use. The question was Room Three had 182 basketballs. 5 basketballs fit in a bag. How many bags do they need to carry the basketballs? So we decided to do an algorithm. We drew a bus stop and wrote the 5 on the left side of the bus stop, if you don't know what a bus stop is ask your teacher. After we drew the 5 on the left side of the bus stop we wrote 182 in the middle of the bus stop. So we had to find out how many 5 goes into the 1 so we found out that we couldn't do it. So we had to find out how many 5 goes into 18 so we came up with 3 and we had 3 remainders. so we put the remainder on the 2 so we came up with 32 so we decided 32 by 5 and we came up with 6 and remainder 2. We put the answers together and came up with 36 r2 (remainder 2)
