What do you think of this?
What do you notice?
What maths can you pull out if?
How many eggs in a tray?
How many trays in a stack?
What about the arms or the back?
How many eggs in the front stacks?
What about the total couch?
Can you count all the eggs you can see?
How many eggs aren't visible?
Would you calculate the trays and then the eggs?
These types of open ended maths discussions encourage students to question, theorise and explain their thinking. We have had a lot of heated discussion about this already and proven there are many ways to approach a problem and even more ways to view it.
Special mention must go to Hannah, Thomas and Max R for their fervent belief in their methods.
We are all looking forward to the next open ended question.
