Today in maths we are learning to do harder maths problems using place value . Here is some of what we've been doing :
17 x 5 = 10 x 5 = 50 plus 7 x 5 = 35 50 + 35 = 85
In this problem I used the ten from the seventeen and the five first . I multiplied them together and got fifty . Then I took the seven from the seventeen and the five , and multiplied them together , again to get thirty five . Then I added my fifty and my thirty five together to get eighty five .
