Example:

Do you agree? Explain why or why not.


No, I don't agree, because first I divide 6 and 2, it gave me 3. Then, I plus 1.7 and 3, and it gave me 4.7

2. Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible.
What problem solving strategy did you use?
3 x 28+ 6.4 ÷ 4 =___

(3 x 28) + (6.4
÷ 4 ) = 10

3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression.
