Weird and Wonderful

LI: to solve a equation about cactus. 
Today we have been learning about Weird and Wonderful things such as cactus. I have solved this maths equation: 3ML x 365. How much water would you give to your cactus/plant each day in a year? The answer is 1095

  1. Hey Charlize!
    Its great that oyu have solved this SLJ math question. I think you should add your strategy on how you solved the question on your blog to let your readers know that there is a strategy they can use. How long did it take you to figure out this question? I have also done this activity.
    Keep up the great work! - Florence

  3. Hey there Charlize, it's Billy here from the Summer Learning Journey.

    Thank you for completing this complex cactus maths question. What strategy did you use to solve the equation? Personally, I used the place value partitioning strategy, where I split 365 into 300, 60 and 5. I multiplied them all by 3 which equated to 900, 180 and 15. Then I simply added them all together and the answer was 1095.

    When you're solving measurement problems it's always a good idea to put the unit of measurement next to your answer, for example; 1095ml.

    Do you know how much water the cactus would need over a ten year period?

    Thanks, Billy.

  4. Hi Charlize,

    I am glad to see you completing these SLJ activities during these summer holidays. I did this activity too. Nice answer. I got the same answer as you, which was 1095 ml. The formula that you've used is great.

    NICE:)

  5. Greetings Charlize!
    It's great to see you are updated with your blogging! Was this Maths problem hard? In the start for me it was hard but then it started to get a bit easier for me. 1095 is the correct answer. Everyone in your class that I have commented on got 1095 as there answer to.

    Keep it up Charlize!
