Maths

Today for maths we looked at different strategies of solving equations.

First my group looked at different equations based on addtion and subtraction. Our first strategie was  counting backwards  84 to 77 because our equation was (84-7=???). The counting backwards didn't turn out right so we went to another equation. Our next equation we tried was lumber line. We got the answer right with the number line equation.

The next set of questions were based on multiplication and division. Our equation was (180÷12=??). Our first strategy was skip counting. My group were skip counting in 12's  
But it didn't work. Our next strategy was written algorithm. It worked, we solved it like.  
180    ÷  12
