Problem Solving

Last week our class was doing some problem solving. We were learning how to solve subtraction problems by using different strategies. Feel free to come and comment on my blog.

Here is one of my questions that I solved with my maths mate.


This is a strategy called Place Value 

16 900 - 12 750 = ?
16 900 - 10 000 = 6900
6900 - 2000 = 4900
4900 - 700 = 4200
4200 - 50 = 4150

This strategy is called Equal Adjustments

16900-12750=?
+250 +250
17150-13000=4150

Hope you have learnt something from this.
