Today I used place value to figure out math equations. First we highlighted the key words. The question was Sally takes her six other team members to lunch. Each person orders the $14 lunch special. Sally paid the bill. How much did she pay?
First we figured out the math eaquation. For Example: 14 x 6 = ??
second we started with the ten. For Example: 10 x 6 = 60
Then the ones. For Example: 4 x 6 = 24
Lastly we added both of our aswers together. For Example: 60 + 20 + 4 = 84 Sally paid 84 dollars for there lunch.
I like doing this because it helps me figure out math equations very fast. 
Sai aupito Melissa, you did really well in today's maths lesson working through the different strategies on your own. This place value strategy did seem the easiest way to figure out the equation however I did like the halving and doubling strategy too 14 x 6 = (7 x 6) + (7 x 6). What do you enjoy solving more, times tables or subtraction problems?
ReplyDeleteI like doing time tables more then subtraction because I like to challenge myself so I can get better at it. Thank you for you positive feed back Whaea Petra.
