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'. 

Mikayla had 87 toy cats and Corrin had 18 toy cats and Mrs B had 3 toy cats. How many are there altogether ?

 87+3 = 90

90+18=108.
