Teachers, save “Maths - Problem solving” to assign it to your class.

Read the problem carefully and show me how you solve it. Problem: I made 5 cupcakes for my birthday. There are 2 jellybeans on some cupcakes and 5 jellybeans on some cupcakes. Show how many jellybeans there might be altogether? Show me your thinking. How did you count all the jellybeans? Is there another way you could count them?
