  LI. to use the most efficient strategy to find the answers. LI. to use LS2 Maths Talk to discuss strategies. For this task we used the most efficient strategy to solve maths questions. The most efficient strategy that was used for this challenge was addition and subtraction. These strategies were used when we needed to find out the answer of how much the Gold medalist scored over Nastia, and used to find our how much points did Nastia scored than the Bronze medalist. Steps: For the first question the Gold medal winners score was 16.726 because Nastia scored 16.725 and the gold medalist scored 0.001 more than Nastia. So we added 0.001 and 16.725, that gave us the score of the gold medalists. To see if our answers were correct we subtracted 16.726 to 0.001 which equalled to 16.725, and added 1.75 to 14.975 which equalled to 16.726. For the second question Nastia scored over 1.750 than the Bronze medalist because we subtracted the 14.975 (third place winner score) to 16.725 (second ...

  LI : To use our addition knowledge to figure out how long Michael swam and how many strokes it takes him   The most efficient strategy I used to solve this challenge was addition and division. Addition strategy was used to find out how many meters Micheal swam for all of his different events, and the division strategy was used to find out how many strokes he did if he took 2 meters in each stroke.  Steps: For or the freestyle relay (4x100m), we didn't multiply it, the 4 is the amount of people that did it so Michael was 1 of 4 so it is 100 same for the medley relay and the second freestyle relay.  The maths: 400 100 200 200 200 100 +100 ----------- 1500 Then, I divide 1500 by 2 because for every stroke Michael takes it is 2 meters.  1500 divided by 2 = 750 So 750 is the amount of strokes to take Michael over to the end of the pool I enjoyed doing this activity because it helped me improve my division skill.

My reading group wrote some no and yes ideas as example yes they should spent this money to make their families proud, also with no because people could use the money with vaccines.
