First of all, thank you for all who have already sent in either their ‘Women in Mathematics Day’ posters or the answer for the weekly challenge in The Numeracy Hive! Well done! 👍👏
Today, I thought we can have a bit of a brain exercise with a Broken Calculator activity.
Try to come up with all the answers, don’t give up, use your knowledge on the four operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing) and you can use BODMAS too!
Looking forward to your answers!
Have a nice day!
