Maths Contract- Semester 1
Posted by Emily on July 20, 2007
S23p have been working on 1 of our weakest points in maths. I chose Division because I don’t really understand how to do it even though I can do multiplication well. We also have to present what we’ve learnt to the class. My presentation will teach the audience how to divide and get a whole number and a remainder. I will know if my audience understood what I was presenting, they will be listening to what I am saying and they will be facing me.
How to Divide
Method
1# You think how many times the smaller number goes in to the larger number.
2# You have your answer
If there is a remainder this is what you do:
e.g 7 divide by 75
1# Think how many times 7 goes into 65
2# You have your answer. 9
3#You times the small number in the equation and the answer. 9×7= 63
4# You subtract the big number in the equation and the answer you got from step 3. 65-63=2
Final Answer: 9 and 2 7ths
