Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs)

For your numeracy work today I would like you to leave a comment that tells me something about the number below. It can be a way of making the number, the structure of the number, a fact that includes that number, whatever you like! Try to push your thinking beyond the obvious.

And the number is…….

                                                 286!

  1. One way to make 286 could be 300-100=200+80+6=286 another way to make it is 100+100+80+6=286

  2. 1. 200 +80 + 6 2. 100 + 100 + 40 + 40 +6 3. 30+ 30 +20 +5 +1 +200 4. 300 – 14 = 286
    5. 320 – 34 = 286
    These are some of my ways to make 286 some are obvious and some aren’t !

  3. I have some ways to make 286 :
    200 add 80 add 6 =286
    285 add 1 =286
    The number 286 is an even number
    🙂

  4. It’s a even number
    It is not a prime number
    It’s a 3 digit number
    50 x 4 + 80 + 6
    It can be halved and doubled

  5. There is 365 days in the year and if you minus off my great grans age of 79 years, it leaves you with 286.

  6. 246 as a Roman numeral is-CCXLV1

    246 has 8 factors(numbers that go into it without a remainder)-they are 1,2,3,6,41,82,123,246.

  7. 1. 286 is a even number
    2. 200 +66+20=286
    3. 100+100+86=286
    4. 200+84+1+1=286
    5. 200+50+30+6=286

  8. 20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+80+6

    200+50+6
    100+100+50+20+10+1+1+1+1+1+1
