Tidying up and Compensating Numbers

Hello Bloggers! How was your Holiday? 

In Davies Maths ( My maths group ) This week we have been learning and working on how to tidy up and compensate numbers. In this blog post, I will be explaining how to tidy up numbers and also compensate them. To start this you have to first have 2 numbers for your equation e.g 132 + 76, you then have to either subtract or add to make one of the numbers a number ending in zero like 132 -2 + 130 now you have the tidy number you have to do the opposite to the other number like this, 76+ +2 = 78, now you have your new numbers the equation is simple, 130 + 78 instead of 132 + 76. Now for subtracting your numbers now are 132 - 76, now we can do 132 +8 to get 140 but with the 76 you have to add as well so, 76 +8 to get 84 now you have 140 - 84. So there is how to Tidy up and compensate your numbers to make an easier equation. Did you know how to do this before my post? Do you find it easy to do? It would be very helpful if you could leave me some of your feedback by leaving a comment. Blog you later!
