I learnt to use different strategies to solve equations using all four operations/multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. A strategy is a plan to complete a task.

Some of our equations: 

Our first equation was 84 - 7. We used four different strategies to solve this equation. One of our strategy was the number line. We first started off at 77 then added 3 to get to a tidy number which was 80. The added 4 to get to 84.

Our second equation was 1.5 - 0.885. We used three different strategies. One of our strategy was the written algorithm. We first started by adding 0.885 + 0.005 = 0.890. Then 0.890 + 0.010 = 1.0. Lastly I added 1.0 + 0.5 = 1.5.
