Math Problem Solving - Tia and Tom

Today in Maths we did a solving question, we had to work with someone else or with two other people.

The question is in the picture above.
We had to work out how long will it be before Tia has more money than a tom, we thought it would be easier if one of us would do tom and the other one would do Tia. I did Tom and Alexia did Tia. 
Since Tom started spending his $20 on Monday but only using $2 a day, While Tia started work on Monday and made $2.50 a day. We started working it out and stopped on Friday. On Friday tom had $10 and Tia had $12.50 So it will take 5 days for Tia to make more money than Tom.

Problem Solving - Popsicle Sticks - Maths

Today in math we split into our problem solving groups we got some Popsicle sticks and had to make 9 squares out of them. we had to make as many patterns with them as we can I made in the time we had I made 9 them in different orders and different numbers of them being connected. each person in the group made these and these are mine and I done by my self. started with making 9 squares and the problem solving part was how many sticks where there and the answer was 32 but some over people 
I found challenging to move the sticks without them moving
I found easy making patterns with the sticks.
