Matariki maths question

Today we did an open ended maths question.

This was the question - 

For Matariki the school is going to have a hangi fundraiser. Mrs Kelly has allowed a budget of $1,000 to be spent on the ingredients. If taro is $4 per/kg, chicken is $12/kg, pumpkin is $2/kg, kumara is $5/kg etc etc. What combinations can you buy to prepare the hangi and what will your total be?

Here is what each group did.

We discussed how it was way easier to figure out what the other groups had done if they wrote the units next to the numbers (such as the second picture above this text). 

Miss Ashley showed us how we could rewrite our information but including the units so it made more sense to people.
