Now let's do something more exciting! Look at these numbers
350, 850, 250, 700
First let’s add them up together and then we will find the mystery behind it!
Represent the numbers using your stamp game
Count up the ones, 10s and 100s.
What do we do now?
Let us regroup to find the total number
First the ones. Since there are no ones let’s go straight to the 10s
Now move the 100 to the 100s columns
Can the 100s be regrouped? Count to see.
Move the 1000s to the 1000’s column
So what did we get?
2 thousands 1 hundred 5 tens and 0 ones
2000+100+50+0
= 2150
Now let's find the mystery behind each number! At your age you should be taking 1600 to 2200 calories each day! That amount should be spread between 4 major meals. Approximately this should be your breakup!
