Word Problems and Strategies

We were focusing on using as many maths strategies as we could to solve multiple equations.

We were given a total of 18 equations that used all 4 maths operations to solve within two weeks.

We investigated different strategies to solve as many maths equations as we were able to within the time limit. We did this activity in groups of four.

The main strategies that were used were written algorithm, number line, place value, simple addition, simple subtraction and skip counting.

We found that this activity challenged our skill of solving equations. We enjoyed this activity and using different strategies to solve problems.

One thing we could improve is finding more strategies to solve future maths problems.

LI: to practice a range of strategies to solve equations using all 4 operations.
