The story of the Maths problem: (use your own words)

Clayton thought that this shape is interesting for the garden to make.

What we were trying to find out:

We were trying to find out the perimeter of the garden and the area.

How we solved the problem:

First I added the 12m&4m =16 so then I added 4+6=10 then I added 5+6=11 then I added 7 but I added the 16+10+11+7=44m.

Working as a group is important:  

I am good at sharing my ideas because I can speak loud I am getting better at listening  because I can repeat their idea
