Trial and Error

Learning Outcome

We are learning to solve a problem by trial and error.

Success Criteria

• I will have tried different ways of solving the problem.
• I will check to see if there is more than one way.
• I will have a correct answer.

The Problem

We were given 7 cards each labelled - 3,=, X, +, 7, 8, 5

We need to make a equation with these that is true and uses all the cards.

Reflection

Sam and I found the equation quite hard. It was difficult to actually solve because it was a different kind of equation which we didn't realise until after 4 minutes. The answer was 5 x 3=7 + 8

Here is a video of us trying to find the answer.

Sorry we did another video to make it shorter.
