I learnt to use different strategies to solve equations using all four operations/multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. A strategy is a plan to complete a task.
Some of our equations:
Our first equation was 84 - 7. We used four different strategies to solve this equation. One of our strategy was the number line. We first started off at 77 then added 3 to get to a tidy number which was 80. The added 4 to get to 84.
Our second equation was 1.5 - 0.885. We used three different strategies. One of our strategy was the written algorithm. We first started by adding 0.885 + 0.005 = 0.890. Then 0.890 + 0.010 = 1.0. Lastly I added 1.0 + 0.5 = 1.5.
Our third equation was 88÷8. We used three different strategies. One of our strategy was counting in 8. 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88.
I enjoyed this activity because I learned some of the strategy to solve the equations.
LI.to practice a rage of strategies to solve questions using all 4 operations.
