Problem Solving Maths

Today we worked with a buddy to  solve a problem and look for patterns. Everyone worked well sharing the task and talking with their buddy.  Students had to find 3 numbers between 0 and 9 that added up to 10. It sounds easy but then they had to think about and explain the patterns. Now that was a bit tricky.
