Tom and Tia Topsy Turvy Money

WALT: Solve level 4 algebra problems!

Today we solved an algebra problem to calculate how much money would be spent and earnt by two twins. Tom started with $20 and  spent $2 per day. Tia started with $0 and earned 2.50 per day.

I used a table to help me calculate the day Tia would overlap tom with money. I also used my times tables to help be get a better result to see what the answer was! 

Our class also made links to statistics and chose a line graph to show our thinking. You can see clearly that by Friday, Tia will have more money the Tom because Tom is spending his money instead of saving like Tia.

Here is my work from today!
