Long Division

The Squares maths group in 3dom have been working on a new strategy called Long Division.
Long Division is pretty much just an algorithm for division, You always have to follow the rule:
D.M.S. Divide - Multiply - Subtract. you start by dividing, the way that you do this for example,

7÷567

You start by counting, how many times can you put 7 into 5. But in this case since you can't put 7 into 5 you merge 5 with the next number 6. So now figure out how many times 7 goes into 56. 8 is the answer so now to find the last number.

Start by thinking how many sevens go into seven, which is obviously 1. Now you have your answer    7÷567

If there are ever remainders you have to for example,

7x8 since eight was the first number, = 56 then 56 - 56 is 0. But if the multiplication was 58 - 56 = 2 you have r2 (remainder 2) which then passes onto the next number,

Without remainder: 7-7
With remainder: 27 - how many times 7 goes into 27. Which is 3, so 7x3 is 21.
Now the final equation is: 27-21=6 and then you know the remainder is 6. (Remember to write r6 and the end of your answer.)

I LOVE books !

The Next Big Thing Close Call

The chosen idea was the amazing chockets which made it into the Nagta team finals. But sadly was over taken by Ross Goss, But Apparently it was not an easy discussion our pitch was really well performed but Ross Goss was a better Idea and would benefit the school. Hopefully Ross Goss will win the school competition, good luck!

Multiplication Algorithm

For maths we are working on multiplication and division. For the last few sessions we have been trying to master the "Multiplication Algorithm". It's a really effective way to multiple double digit numbers by double digit numbers, It has been really fun and easy enough to learn. It is linked to the strategy "Cross Products" where you times the ones of the first number by the ones and the tens of the second number, and then the tens of the first number by the ones and the tens of the second number then you add the results up together.  Go on why don't you try one?

1. 35 x 23 = ?

2. 47 x 13 = ?

3. 72 x 39 = ?
