We started off looking at how division was the opposite of multiplication. We did this by revising what Multiplication and Division Family of Facts looks like.
Then we checked everyone could do short division. Can you do short division?
After breaking it down and practising asking how many times the divisor goes into the dividend we tried harder problems that took us to the long form or long division.
What way do you use to solve harder division problems?
Today our Maths investigation was around triangles. Using the dot we had to make right-angle triangles. First, we had to make sure we all knew what that meant. Did you know a square and rectangle have 4 right angle corners? – That means the corners are 90°.
I will tell you how many we found after you tell me how many you find. Remember you can’t count a triangle of the size and shape twice. So be careful how you lay out your triangles, you can use this link to help you with your answer. Good Luck
KiaOra,
Today we tried to find how many different ways to put 16 stones into 4 different piles that are not the same.
You can see when we shared as a class there are least 10 ways, we found together.
It was tricky to see the different ways as we used a system and then thought we were done.
Can you find any other ways this could be solved?
