Random Equations

Yesterday we played a game where you had to think of some creative ways to make a number. For every way you can think of that no one else thinks of you get a point. Here was our first attempt with the number 49.

Kees knew the number equation of using every operation to end up at the same point. If we multiply a number by itself, then divide it by itself, add and subtract and so on - we come back to the original number! Nice work, Kees.

We also saw how we need to put brackets around the parts of an equation with more than one operation.

Going back through tens!

We've started making some movies to help us (and others) learn how to add and subtract with some clever strategies. Here's a great first effort from the 'Stars' group on how to 'count back through the tens.' Well done, team! - Thanks to Mr Kemp's class for the inspiration =)
