Maths Learning Story

In maths I have been learning to work collaboratively with others to find and use the right strategy to solve problems. I have also been learning to explain why I have chosen to use this strategy. 

I can be confident, take risks, explain and justify my ideas into 
my own words for e.g. 13 x 17. How to work out this problem

I think the strategy to use is by breaking both numbers 
into tens and ones 

Evidence: (10 x 10) + ( 10 x 7) + (3 x 10) + (3 x 7) 
= 100 + 70 + 30 + 21 
= 170 + 30 + 21
= 200 + 21
= 221   

This is a maths technique we learned to use while working with Taiki.

I can also work with lots of different people. I use my relating to other skills to do this. I can share my ideas and listen respectfully to others. If I don't agree, I use friendly arguing so explain my thinking.

My next steps in maths is to start using other strategies instead of using repeated addition.
