Kia Ora bloggers! In this post I will be sharing some of my math work. Over the next two weeks or so my math group is focusing on 'patterns', not shapes but in maths problems with repetition.
We were doing some repetition with questions e.g. (5 x 3 - 2) or (3 x 7 + 1). Each time you do it the first number would change to your answer but he rest of the question would change.
Here is a slide I put together based on the information I know to show you how to do it:
I think that I found this easy and it was fun experimenting to see how big your numbers could get, the biggest I got with only doing it 7 times was 4 million.
I think that what made it easier was knowing you were only going to multiply it by one number every time so you just had to know the times tables for that number instead of a bunch of different numbers.
What is the biggest number you predict you could get doing it 20 times? I hope you enjoyed reading this. Bye!
