This week for my blog post we had to do problem solving. For problem solving we got given a sheet and we had to answer either question 1 or 2 and if you had extra time you could do both, me and my math buddy chose to do question 2 and is looked like one of the more understanding question. Question 2 was " There are 360 students at St Francis of Assisi school, and 95 of these students are year 7/8 Kaupeka students. Do the Kaupeka students make up more or less than 1/5 of the students at St Francis Of Assisi School. Me and my math buddy got that it is less than 1/5 of the school because 1/5 of 360 is 72 and so it would be less students because its lower than 95. We worked this out in our maths books so I have no photo of my work to show you.
Thanks for reading my blog post for this week and I hope to see you in my next blog post, bye.
What strategy do you think I used to solve this problem solving question ?
