Week 10 - #1

Hot Shot Surfer Tyson catches 4 great waves every half hour. At this rate, how long will it be before he has ridden 44 waves?

    The grade 6s decided one of the best ways to solve this problem was using a chart. Our chart looked kind of like this:
    Time Waves
    0:00 0
    0:30 4
    1:00 8
    1:30 12
    2:00 16
    2:30 20
    3:00 24
    3:30 28
    4:00 32
    4:30 36
    5:00 40
    5:30 44

    That means it will take Tyson 5 and a half hours to catch 44 waves.

    How did you solve the problem?
