Today we did provincial folders: Mental mathematics
Today we did mental math, we got a worksheet with several questions that we had to solve in our heads for example:
- 50 x 40 = 2000
We also had to explain the steps we used to get the answer like:
- multiply 50 by 10, 4 times which equals 2000
- 50 x 10 (= 500) x10 (=1000) x10 (=1500) x 10 = 2000
Today's homework is:
Make algebraic equations for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division where the letter or variable equals six then solve and verify your own questions.
- for example -
a / 3 = 2
a /3 x 3 = 2 x 3
a = 6
Verify
a / 3 = 2
6 / 3 = 2
2 = 2
