Tom and Tia Topsy Turvy Money


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. We made links to statistics and chose a line graph to show our thinking. You can see clearly, that by Friday, Tia had more money than Tom.
