Problem Solving

Here is a maths problem we solved by working together in groups:

I own 5 cars and a very large garage. 

If I can see 2 cars parked outside the garage, how many are inside? 

We used pictures and toy cars to help us to solve the problem. We talked about the problem with our group and this helped us if we were feeling stuck.

Next, we found out how many different ways we could arrange the cars inside and outside the garage.
