Maths Tidy Number Strategies for Decimals

Today, which is Thursday 3rd of August 2017, I did maths with Miss B, who is my maths group LC, taught me how to use tidy number strategies with decimals.

First, she taught me tidy number strategies. You need to find the number that is the closest to a tidy number (the tens), when you have found the tidy number you minus or plus how much you need to make it a tidy number. If you are doing addition, you do the opposite of what you did to the first number. It would be so much easier to add them together then.

But if you're doing subtraction, you do the same thing to the other one. Then you minus them.

Here is a example:



I learnt a lot and maths today was very fun!
