Maths problem

 Kia ora

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'. 

My problem was Heidi has 74 pink teddies, 3 blue teddies and 56 yellow teddies. How many teddies does she have

?The answer was 133. How I did it was that I did 74+56=130. Then I did + 3, and the answer was 133.
