Hello!
In Maths this week, we've been learning more Division and Chunking methods for division!
Let's start off with the division wheels!
I've already passed this part but, I think I should show you what I learnt before the more interesting method I finally understood.
We had to use our times tables to solve most of these, and some numbers may be upside down, so it may look kinda confusing.
But how it works is, the question is at the top.
you multiply 3 with something close to 51 but not something higher than 51, and then you minus that number you have with the original number. Then whichever number you get after that you multiply something by 3 to get the number or get a number close to it, if you don't have a remainder you plus 10-7 because they are the numbers you used to calculate and after that you have your answer.
This here is the Chunking Method, it is used to work out the equation easier, this was the example we had to learn off, and I think I should share it to you because, l you could use it in the future to solve a Division question.
Have you done this before? What was your experience like with division? would you use this method? do you see the example in a confusing way like I did.
Thanks for Reading! (Learning)
