tie seventy

Wednesday 15th May 2013

It is SATs testing for 11 year old pupils this week.
Today it was maths..... so a maths based tie with lots of multiplication signs seemed appropriate.



Here is a question from today's test paper for 11 yr olds:
 
Put these in order of size (smallest to largest):
 
two thirds    /      0.65      /    three fifths     /      0.5
 
 
The test also threw up a lively debate about whether negative numbers
(such as - 5) can be termed 'whole numbers' ......... 
[try googling it and there are many views]
