Hello bloggers,
Here is the Walt – Add decimals using a partitioning strategy
And for Maths last week we were learning the partitioning strategy to add decimals like it says in the Walt. This strategy is to break up the numbers and then add them. Here is a example :
4.25796 + 5.69639= 4+5+0.2+0.6+0.05000+0.09000+0.00700+0.00600+0.00090+0.00030+0.00006+0.00009
This strategy is helpful and can be used in different ways. The questions we got were adding distances which are in decimals and then find the total distance. We got our questions from this picture:
We had to add up the distance from
- supermarket to the market
- Supermarket to the train station
- Supermarket to the library
Then comes the task. This task is to make a drawing in our chromebooks and then go into google maps to take a screenshot of the area, Wigram. Then we needed to make a map like the map we got from the questions. Here is my work:
