Our 2 week session was based around using multiple strategies to solve different equations. My group was able to complete 10 questions.
Problems 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 were solved using Simple Addition, Written Algorithm, Counting Forward, Number line, Place Value, Skip Counting, Subtraction, Groups and Multiplication.
For the number line on problem 6, we added 10 to 10 to make 20, then 5 to make 25. We were also able to use tally lines to find the answer.
For problem 7, we knew 30 divided by 5 could be solved using place value. We did 3+2= 5, 10x3= 30 and 30 divided by 5= 6.
For problem 8, we solved 8x?= 88 by using place value as well as other strategies. We did 8x10= 80, 8x1= 8, 8+80= 88. Then we added 10+1 to make 11.
For problem 9, we used groups because this is a division equation. We created 8 groups and split 72 into all of the groups equally. There was 9 in each group.
For problem 10, on the number line, we added 36 six times to find the answer. For place value, we did 6x6= 36. Then, we multiplied 30x6= 180 and added 180+30= 210. Finally, we added 6 to make 216.
LI: to practice a range of strategies to solve equations using all four operations.
Greetings Bella,
ReplyDeleteI like how your group used lots of strategies to solve an equation. What was the hardest equation that your group got stuck on?
Keep up with your great work.
Hello Chisa,
DeleteThe question my group and I struggled on finding as many strategies as we could to solve 36x6, however we still enjoyed this activity. Are there any multiplication, division, addition or subtraction tables you struggle with?
Hello Bella,
ReplyDeleteI like how your group used a lot of strategies to solve the equations. What equation you guys were stuck on? Why?
