Hi everyone today I decided to do this activity from the SLJ team. I was so amazed that these tricks actually worked. I really recommend this activity and I say you should give it a go on family and friends. Sorry that I haven't said much but I just don't know what to say because this activity was so fun and surprising. So I hope you liked this blog post and I will see you next time in my next blog post.
To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - Begin with a greeting. Talk about something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A comment that will mean something to me to let me know you read/watched or listened to what I had to say. - use any language.
3. Something helpful - Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
Encourage me to make another post
Hey there Taliyah!

This is epic, isn't it? I too am amazed by how magical maths is. Numbers and their reliability never cease to blow my mind! So cool that you are trying out different equations. I tried this myself with a couple of massive 6 digits numbers, and it still worked.
I'm doing some math practice at the moment for a statistics course I'm taking at university and it has been years since I did math (not since high school and I'm now 28!!). Do you enjoy math? It can be so fun once you get the hang of it and start to see the beauty of the formulas.
I look forward to seeing some more math challenges from you on your blog next time.
Keep up the great mahi!

Hi Ruby It's Taliyah
DeleteYes it is fantastic and fun to try with many people like family and friends and much more.
Wow I never thought of doing such a big number with it because I don't really like using calculators and I am not that good at math.

Kia ora Taliyah!
ReplyDeleteChris here again, from the Summer Learning Journey.
So glad you enjoyed the activity! No need to apologise for not saying much, what you’ve said was awesome! I like that you described it as “surprising,” that’s how I felt about the activity too. I don’t like maths, so I thought this was a very creative way of making maths more interesting. Have you tried these maths tricks on anybody else?
Looking forward to seeing what else you post!
Ngā mihi,
Chris
Hi Chris, Taliyah here again
DeleteI know I didn't need to apologise for not saying much but I thought I might because I have seen some people get comments on their blog saying "why have you not described it properly, you have hardly written anything".
Yes I don't like maths either but I some how found this fun, interesting and surprising. No I haven't tried this on anyone yet but I will be asking some people at some point soon.

Mōrena Taliyah!
DeleteThat makes sense. I think our job is more to encourage you guys to talk about your experiences and your learning, I promise it isn’t meant to make anyone feel bad. But you’re right, there are comments like that so I understand your concern. Thank you for your attention and your efforts!
Looking forward to seeing your other posts this week.
Ngā mihi,
Chris
HI Chris
DeleteYes I am glad you understand what I mean I hope to see you around some time on my blog.

Ka pai, ka kite Taliyah!
DeleteChris
Thank you I am not really sure what that means though
DeleteKia ora Taliya,
DeleteChris used some words in Te Reo Māori to say well done and see you later!
Ka pai = good/well done
Ka kite = See you/bye
Perhaps you can add these into your fantastic vocabulary, it is always fun to learn new words or sayings in a language other than English.
Ngā mihi, (regards)

Hi Lauren
DeleteYes I actually found out that I already knew what they meant.
