3 Break the problem into smaller pieces 1 Flowerbed has 8 slabs Draw the diagrams for 3 and 4 flowerbeds 2 Flowerbeds have 13 slabs

4 Tabulate results FlowerbedsSlabs 18 213 3 4 18 23

5 Look for patterns… FlowerbedsSlabs 18 213 3 4 18 23 +5 …and why they occur

6 8+5+5+5+ 3 lots of 5

7 234 183 132 81 Number of slabs Number of flowerbeds x5+3

8 slabs = 5n + 3

9 Solve the problem 100 flowerbeds? 100 x 5 + 3 = 503 slabs = 5n + 3
