Time For A New Type Of Maths

On Monday at Paihia School in Te Ngahere we did some new maths. We had to figure out more ways to solve 16 x 8. I figured out that 32 x 4 and some other equations that I don’t remember also makes 16 x 8 which equals to 128. What I thought was hard was probably when I had to try and find more ways to solve it because I didn’t know any other equations that also equal 128. What I thought was easy was when I found out an equation because all I needed to do was go 32 across and 4down. What I think I could do better next time is maybe listen to the teacher so I understand and know what to do. Would you be able to find out more ways to solve 16 x 8?

  1. Well don, Zane. Sounds tricky. Good idea to listen and then ask if you need help. I would halve 16 to 8. Then 8x8 = 64. Double 64 is 128. I could also go 6 x 8 = 48. 10 x 8 = 80. 80 + 48 = 128
