Activity: to determine the equivalence and validity of different representations [lo 2.6.3]

To use strategies to check solutions [lo 1.11]

1. In the previous activity you had the opportunity to use your own strategies to solve problems. From the feedback in the class you would have realised that there are many ways of adding numbers.

Work in pairs. Discuss the following methods of adding and explain to each other how the answers are calculated:

Let’s revise!

1.1 845 908 + 25 876 + 343 621

800 000 + 40 000 + 5 000 + 900 + 0 + 8
20 000 + 5 000 + 800 + 70 + 6
+ 300 000 + 40 000 + 3 000 + 600 + 20 + 1
1 100 000 + 100 000 + 13 000 + 2 300 + 90 + 15

= 1 000 000 + (100 000 + 100 000) + 10 000 + (3 000 + 5 000) + 300 + (90 + 10) + 5

= 1 215 405

1.2

= 1 215 405

Time for self-assessment

  • Tick the appropriate rectangle:
Yes Mostly Some-times No
I can investigate adding methods and evaluate them (determine whether they are correct). (LO 1.11 en LO 2.6) *
I can add correctly without a calculator. (LU 1.8) *
I need more exercise in addition. *

* Ask your educator to explain again and give you extra exercises.

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 1.11: We know this when the learner uses a range of strategies to check solutions and judge the reasonableness of solutions.

Learning Outcome 2: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent patterns and relationships, as well as to solve problems using algebraic language and skills.

Assessment Standard 2.6: We know this when the learner determines, through discussion and comparison, the equivalence of different descriptions of the same relationship or rule presented:

2.6.3: e.g. number sentences.

Wayne and Dennis like to ride the bike path from Riverside Park to the beach. Dennis’s speed is seven miles per hour faster than Wayne’s speed, so it takes Wayne 2 hours to ride to the beach while it takes Dennis 1.5 hours for the ride. Find the speed of both bikers.

from theory: distance [miles] = speed [mph] × time [hours] info #1 speed_Dennis × 1.5 = speed_Wayne × 2 => speed_Wayne = 0.75 × speed_Dennis (i) info #2 speed_Dennis = speed_Wayne + 7 [mph] (ii) use (i) in (ii) => [...] speed_Dennis = 28 mph speed_Wayne = 21 mph
George
Let W be Wayne's speed in miles per hour and D be Dennis's speed in miles per hour. We know that W + 7 = D and W * 2 = D * 1.5. Substituting the first equation into the second: W * 2 = (W + 7) * 1.5 W * 2 = W * 1.5 + 7 * 1.5 0.5 * W = 7 * 1.5 W = 7 * 3 or 21 W is 21 D = W + 7 D = 21 + 7 D = 28

Shakir works at a computer store. His weekly pay will be either a fixed amount, $925, or $500 plus 12% of his total sales. How much should his total sales be for his variable pay option to exceed the fixed amount of $925.
mahnoor Reply
I'm guessing, but it's somewhere around $4335.00 I think
Lewis
12% of sales will need to exceed 925 - 500, or 425 to exceed fixed amount option. What amount of sales does that equal? 425 ÷ (12÷100) = 3541.67. So the answer is sales greater than 3541.67. Check: Sales = 3542 Commission 12%=425.04 Pay = 500 + 425.04 = 925.04. 925.04 > 925.00
