When I here the word mathematics I think of plus, subtract, division and multiplication. The reason is that they all play a part in maths. The first most important piece of maths that I have learnt in class would be the to always keep your place value in their rightful column. The reason why I believe that this is important is because it always needs to be in the right place otherwise you will get mixed up. Another piece would be to read your numbers in threes because if you don’t read your numbers in threes you will again get mixed up. The last reason would be to learn mathematics you have to know how to read numbers like you two times tables or your threes. If I was give that question my answer would be to me mathematics to learn to say numbers, to learn your times tables, to learn about place value but mostly to know how to add, subtract, take-away or to times.

When I hear mathematics I think of an algorithm. 1 important thing is to keep the decimal point in line when pulsing or times money because if you don’t you might end up with the wrong number. The 2nd thing is to always read in threes to pronounce the number properly. Math’s is to add, subtract, times and divide numbers all together.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word mathematics is multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. Three very important things I have learnt at school is 1 change and I think this is important because you need to know change so that you do not get the money and change wrong if you go shopping or if you end up being a cashier. 2 is multiplication. I think we need to know multiplication by the end of the year because when we go in to high school the teachers will not give us any time to work it out. We need to know the answer at the blink of an eye. And 3 is the decimal point. The decimal point will help and make adding up money a lot easier. The answer I would give to the question what is mathematics is mathematics is most of the time an equation and adding up numbers money and lots and lots of other things.

When I hear the word mathematics I think of……
Numbers, Signs, Cm, Mm, Km, L, mL, Kilos, Grams tones and measurement
So many things I can think of!
3 important things that we’ve done in maths are…
1. Learning how to use a protractor to measure an angles degrease
2. Learning to quickly think and say our times tables of by heart
3. Learning to use trading in division, times, plus and subtraction
I wouldn’t have a clue what answer to give to the question “what is maths?”
I wouldn’t have a clue because I didn’t invent maths!
