Activity: to use a range of techniques to perform calculations [lo 1.10.2]

Let us see how well you are able to apply your acquired knowledge of division. Calculate the following without using a pocket calculator. You may use whichever method you prefer.

BRAIN-TEASER!

During a competition, the Grade 5, 6 and 7’s tie. 21 cool drink cans are delivered to them at the school. Seven of the cans are completely full and 7 are half-full. Seven empty cans are also delivered.

How will you divide the cool drink among the three grades so that everyone gets the same amount of cool drink and cans? (Hint: make a sketch!)

Assessment

Learning Outcome 1: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent numbers and their relationships, and to count, estimate, calculate and check with competence and confidence in solving problems.

Assessment Standard 1.10: We know this when the learner uses a range of techniques to perform written and mental calculations with whole numbers including:

1.10.2: long division.
