L.I: To comprehend word problems, L.I: To choose the "best" strategy to solve the problem. This week for Maths, Mr Ogilvie's group had to work on solving word problems. We first looked at a couple of examples before we go off to do our must do. First we he gave us a word problem we had to first solve it in our head, then write our strategy down. It was surprising to see most people writing down the algorithm strategy. We then had to think of what the problem was asking us to do. We worked on multiplication, division, subtraction and addition. We worked on many strategies including ones we didn't focus on the previous term. I think I could do better next time and a=maybe have a new "best strategy" for equations like this.
