Let's Revise Maths

Hi P5 Pupils,
Hope you have found the revision and homework over the last 4 days helpful.
I would like to get you to discuss some of the common mistakes that we make.
Can you spot the mistakes in the following solutions? Explain why they are wrong.

Q1. Express 5.5m in cm.
Solution 1: 5.5 m = 505 cm
Solution 2: 5.5 m = 5500 cm
Solution 3: 5.5 m = 5005 cm

Q2. Evaluate 2 + 4 x 50 - 30.
Solution 1:
2 + 4 x 50 - 30
= 6 x 50 - 30
= 300 - 30
= 270

Solution 2:
2 + 4 x 50 - 30
= 6 x 50 - 30
= 6 x 20
= 120

Solution 3:
2 + 4 x 50 - 30
= 2 + 4 x 20
= 2 + 80
= 82

What do we need to remember in order to do Q1 and Q2?
