Math Strategy - Rounding and Compensating

WALT solve addition equations using the rounding and compensating strategy.

We have been learning different maths strategy mostly  Rounding and Compensating. Here is an example of  Rounding and Compensating
 99 + 45 =
you take the 99 and make it into 100 so it becomes
100 + 45 = 145
then you take the 45 and - 1 to make it 144 so that is the answer
99 + 45 = 144

I think the hardest thing that I did was having to find out the answer. The thing that I did well was that I did the answer and tried my hardest. I can extend  my learning with using higher numbers.

Rounding and Compensating is an efficient way to solve addition equations. Efficient means quick and easy.
