Multiplication and Division- Week 2

WALT: Solve story problems using only multiplication and division strategies.

In week two we used a lot of algorithms and I was challenge. This post was very late but I still remember how I struggled with this presentation. I am fine with working with a algorithm but I did struggle. Here is an example for a problem and solution:

532

x 23

1596

10640

12236

I have learnt that if the bottom number has a number in the tens unit, it will always start with a zero. Just like the zero made bold. I think that the presentations after week 2 were much better with the solving.

WALT: Express remainders as decimals.

This has been hard to figure out but I finally finished and my friend Seini helped each other. One thing we really helped each other is the 10 other questions. The way I solved this was by partitioning bit by bit. I did it this way because I thought it was a easy way but I found another easier way. That is called algorithm. I will try to use this method more.
