Interchange Maths

In the past two weeks of school, 7/8Sh, Ts, Bh and Tz has been doing interchange Maths. We have been going to different classes for maths and started learning with different teachers and different people from other classes. I am in Miss Birtch class for maths and I am enjoying and having fun learning with her. I also have my friends Keyana, Mikayla, Sharnarnia and Brianna in the same class working with me too.

In maths we first did a small test to see what level we were on and what group we will be put in. I got put into a group called Tapawha and we started off with the blue text book. We were learning our first LO which stands for Learning object and it is, How many tens are there in numbers less than 1000 / Place value, Money. When we started learning our Learning object, I struggled at the start because I was very confused on the questions, but later on that week, I finally understood how to do it.

Here is one example on how to work out one of the questions:

The store only has $100 notes, $10 notes and $1 coins and I wanted to buy a watch which cost $360. So my strategie I did was, I got 3 hundred dollar notes and 6 ten notes to make it $360, because 3 hundred dollars notes are 300 and 6 ten dollar notes are 60, so I have the right amount of money to buy the watch.

Here is a question for you to solve:
A diamond and sapphire brooch cost $43 346 and you need to work out how many dollar notes and one dollars coins you need.
