I wonder
What mother went with what daughter.
How many ornaments each mother made.
I wonder if Mrs. Taylor and Sarah go together
I wonder if there are any patterns
I wonder if I can chart.
I wonder if I can use trial and error
If you could do it easier with the situations reversed.
If anybody made the same amount
how many ornaments they need.

Jacob- The skill that I failed to reconize was reading the problem more carefully.
Mikayla- The skill I failed to reconize was doing the steps first.
Jonathan- The skill I failed to recognize was finding some of the answers.
2.Choose one of the mathforum problems you solved this summer and name the strategy you used. Was it successful? Why or why not?
