__**Jags Algebra Work**__

Yesterday my group did some algebra work on shapes and we found out that you have to add up in 2s if you are using triangles. If you are using squares than you have to add up in 3s because if you have four than you just add three on the side. For the house the trick is to add the next house on the side of the one that you already have and then carry on the next house. For the fish you have to add up in 4s because you just add them on the side. For the odd fish since there are two on the top so you just add the same except you use the tail to make the new fish.
