Maths Talk at Hoon Hay School

At our school we work with a maths mate and share our thinking with them. We ask questions about our maths and if we aren't sure of something, we explain how we do it. We know that 2 brains are often better than one and we enjoy working collaboratively. 

Today Me and Micah (Rm 16)  I worked on solving this problem: 

Luke won a speed skating race. He won $512.00 and being the generous boy that he is, decided to split it with his Mum, Dad, and teacher, keeping an equal portion for himself. How much did each person receive? Have you ever come across a problem like this before, and how would you solve this question?
