Today for maths we have been learning to use the tidy number strategy using the 5 times tables to work out other maths multiplication. What I done was I've used a maths strategy to solve it out with tidy numbers. What tidy numbers are a number that ends in 0. To use this strategy I firstly had a equation. For example 8 x 7. I then times it using the 5 times tables. This turned out to be 8 x 5. The answer would be 40. I then made the number 7 using the number 2. I made this my 5 and 2. So then 8 x 2 = 16. I then added up the answers I had. 40 + 16 = 56. So my answer to 8 x 7 would be 56. I think this strategy iz a very good strategy to use because it is simple and it helps me alot.
