Maths Lesson/Doubling and Halving

Today we had a lesson on doubling and halving. We had 2 equations.But you could work both problems with the same strategy. The strategy you could use with both equations is Doubling and Halving. Using Doubling and halving will give the same answer.

Here's my working out on both equations:

132x10=1320

D/12=6 and H/22=11

12x11=132 or

6x22=132

Same answer different working out.

I hope you learned something about this blog =)

Who i am

Talofa Lava

My name is Moses and I am Samoan. I was born in Melbourne Australia, but raised in New Zealand basically my whole life. I love my family they are my world. I am currently a year 8 student. When I first started at Glenbrae I was a really shy boy. As the years went by I got more confident in myself. I really enjoy learning and playing all kinds of sports. My favorite subjects are Reading, Writing and Maths. I like eating home food as well as takeaways. I also want to be the best I can be this year.To be a better role model and respect others more.

This year I want to learn new things and achieve more goals. I have learnt respecting others does make a difference.

I am excited to work with my peers and teachers this year. I hope all goes well for everyone. I wish everyone the best this year.

So that's who I am. I hope you enjoyed reading about  me.

Faafetai Lava
