Maths, E-portfolio Sample
  1. Use two different strategies to solve the following problem:


To get a ‘Great Achievement” award, Rob needs to swim 94 lengths of the swimming pool. If he has already swum 69 lengths, how many more lengths of the swimming pool does he need to swim to get his award?


Strategy One is called Tidy number                                    Answer: 25
So you add 1 to 69 which is 70 then
you add the 24 that was left over and then you should get an answer.

Strategy Two is called place value                                                    Answer: 25
94-60=34
34-9=25

The KNOWLEDGE I needed to solve this problem include you need to know your place value strategy because that is the most
common and tidy number to know when to tidy it.
