Homework
Math |
Due |
| • We are using the new 4 strategies to do our homework. HW: unit 3, pg. 33 | 9-7-10 | ||
| • Adding Up Strategy example: 892-567= ____ can be rewritten and solved by doing 567 + ______ is 892. | None | ||
| • Subtracting in Parts strategy example: 892-567= _____ can be rewritten 892-500, 892-60 and 892-7. Break the 567 into place value parts and then subtract from 892. | None | ||
| • Subtracting Back Strategy example: 892-567can be rewritten 892- ______=567 and subtract bench mark numbers (like 100 or 20 or 5) until you reach 567. Add up the numbers you used and that will be your answer. | None | ||
| • Changing the Number to Make It Easier strategy= Change 892 to 900 and/or 567 to 570 (or whatever benchmark numbers are easiest for you). Dubtract that easier problem and then add or subtract the necessary numbers to find the actual answer. This strategy is best used when only one of the two numbers needs to be switched. (Since 900 is 8 above 892 and 570 is 3 above...900-570=330, then subtract the 8 and add the 3 to get 325). | None |
