Maths Blog - Different strategy's

Kia ora everybody.
For my maths workshop this week my goal was...
Goal: Level 4 - Use an efficient strategy to solve a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication and division problems with whole numbers & decimals.

 Our task was to complete some strategies and then make a video showing how you completed only two of the strategies. We tried to use some methods that we had not used before or recently, one strategy that I used (that I don't use often) was standard written form.

Here is one of my video's from my workshop:

I hope this shows you a bit about doing the strategy of standard written form.

What is another strategy you could use for this question?

And what one do you think is more efficient?

Maths Video

Welcome everyone,
back to my blog.

For this post I will be showing you my maths video for the problem solving called stairs to squares.
But before you look at this link I want to talk to you about what I think problem solving is for.

I think it is teaching you that there is always more then one answer to the question or that there is always one more strategy that you could use to figure the question out. It also shows you that struggle is good because if you struggle then your brain is growing with a growth mindset.

So.....
Here is my Maths Video

I hoped you liked my video, comment if you have found out any other strategy that you could use for this problem.
