Problem Solving - Home Learning

Last week room 19 did some subtraction problem solving with our maths mates. These are some of the strategies I used for this question
Rhiannon had $52.00 in her bank account. Mum borrowed some money. Rhiannon had $48.00 left in her bank account. How much money did mum borrow?

The question was 52 - ☐ = 48
52 - 2 = 50   50 - 2 = 48
2 + 2 = 4
52 - 4 = 48

This is my reversibility strategy
48 + ☐ = 52
48 + 2  = 50 + 2 = 52   2 + 2 = 4
48 + 4 = 52

This is another strategy
52 - 48 = ☐
52 - 2 = 50   50 - 6 = 44
44 - 40 = 4 
52 - 48 = 4

I hoped you learned something from me today.
If you have any other strategies please share them with me by commenting. I hope you enjoyed this blog post.📖
