1
trace C Since
the computer had a map you could make sure that there was a (dot) in every part
of the field. *
2
trace D I
think that you should keep going everywhere for a while to find the
mushrooms. You should look around a
lot.
3
trace ACD They
should go put flags by all the mushrooms and recount and look around for
mushrooms. *
4
--- ABD They
could first go in circles over and over in the sand and make sure that there
are as many as they counted and then they could move onto the Rock and then
grass but to help show if they counted it they could put a flag on it.
5
map ABE One
of the strategies they could of used was for example first going into the sand
area and counting the mushrooms and standing in the middle of the sand area and
looking if there were any left. You
could do the same for the grass and rock areas.
6
DNP* A They
should have a checklist with mushrooms on it so they check off one mushroom
every time they put a flag by a mushroom.

map X (blank)
8
blip AB They
could put flags on the mushrooms they already counted, you could stay in the
rocks until you found them all and the same for the sand and grass.
9
trace X The
strategies they could use is they could of told us how many mushrooms were in
all, so for example we could find as many in the sand and grass and the rocks
and see if they all added up to the number told us.
10
trace AD They
could go around the field 5 times putting flags by the mushrooms. *
11
map ABD They
should use the flags to mark the mushrooms they found in the place. One of the other people should tally what
they found on the sand, the rock and the grass. They should take their time counting all of the mushrooms. Even if they see a mushroom in the
distance, they should go there just in case. *
12
trace ABE They
could use the strategy of going in each different kind of ground and use flags
to mark each one. Then when they think
they are done they will turn around and look around to see if they missed any
of the mushrooms.
13
DNP X They
should use a chart that could help them count every day and then estimate all
the days that’s what I think.
14
blip A They
could put two flags by each mushroom so they could count the mushrooms as they
put down the flags.
15
map AD I
think they should go up and down the field twice putting flags by the mushroom
and counting. Then they should go over
the field again and count the mushrooms to make sure they didn’t miss any or
they didn’t put two on one mushroom.
They could count the field then they could count again. They could look at the other peoples’
answers and see if it fits in the pattern.
Then it would probably be accurate.
16
trace AB They
should leave flags by the mushrooms they counted. They should also search one place at a time. First the grass, then the rocks and last the
sand.
17
blip A You
should go and check with flags put at least two flags by a mushroom. But, that is just a guess because I was not
in a group.
18
DNP A They
should use every time they got a mushroom they should write down a tally for
each one and at the end they’ll probably get the right answer.
19
map ABD They
could go around counting the mushrooms in the sand and put a flag by the ones
they got. They could do the same for
the rock and grass then they could recount them.
20
blip AB I
would tell them to keep track of the mushrooms when they found them. Their strategy could be to stay in one area
first and then to go to each other one when you’re done counting in the first
area.
