LI: To use the most efficient strategy to solve math questions
This week we have been using the Olympic games to help us with our math. The first challenge was about Michael Phelps. We needed to figure out the average of every swim stroke it takes him to get 2 meters down the pool. Michael Phelps competed in 8 different events in the 2008 olympic games. That meant we needed to find out how many meters he swam for his gold medal. After adding up the numbers the total was 1500 meters. I then needed to divide that number by two because he swam 2 meters. The answer was 750, which means it Michael Phelps 750 strokes to get into the 1500m range.
I found this activity interesting because it helped me practise my long division skill.
