Awesome Algebra

On top of their other maths work this week, a group of students in Room 11 decided to explore what they thought was going to be a very tricky mathematical concept - algebra!! At first the combinations of letters and numbers looked like a confusing code, and it seemed bamboozling to work out what the letters represented. 



After starting to think about the equals (=) sign as "the same as" it became clear that all they had to do was work out the answer to problem on the left and then balance it out to have the same answer on the right. 

What is your favourite type of maths to do? Is it algebra? Statistics? Measurement? Let us know in the comments!

  9. Hi Roya, its Latoya from Ahipara school. I really enjoyed looking at all your different equations that you had done for ¨Math´s¨, its very interesting. One thing I find funny and hard is that I have no idea what you writen on the white board. (I was clueless) Although its FANTASTIC!.

  16. I like the top one because it goes 15 - 5 = 10 and 15 - 5 = 2 x b and b = 5 so its 2 x 5 = 10 and 15 - 5 = 10 I personally think
