For this challenge we solved a question regarding ta'ovala. Ta'ovala is a traditional Tongan piece of clothing worn for special occasions. Our main information was that for 8 ta'ovala 12 meters of material was used, we need to find out how many meters of material would take to make 26 ta'ovala. First we found out how much material it would take to make one ta'ovala which we did by dividing 12 by 2, 6 by 2 and then 3 by 2 which gave us 1.5. After that we multiplied 1.5 x 10 two times which gave us 30, then we multiplied 1.5 x 6 and that gave us 9. Lastly we added 30 and 9 to give us our answer 39.

Hi Giovanni and Vayan;
ReplyDeleteI like your maths solution because it is very clear to understand. For your main information you're missing one more information. Your rule explains what you have to do, and your blurb explains what you did very clearly, but I think you need a little bit more in your blurb. I also think you need a photo so people know what a Ta'ovala is.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great maths problem you got there. It's really interesting how you solved the problem. Your blurb is right on point, I think that you should write more so that people reading can have a better understanding of what your trying to say.
Our question to you is why don't you have an Image of what a tuvale is.
Keep up the fantastic work.
Thanks for the feedback Karlos and Ong. I have added more blurb.
