Dinosaur Top Trumps

A really busy session today in topic-based maths. Children practised their measuring and converting measurements in centimetres to millimetres. The children learnt about dinosaurs that were 10 or 20 the size of them. They used their dimensions such as head circumference, height and others then multiplied them to find the dinosaur's body dimensions. Before doing that children came up with a formula to help them multiply any number by ten or twenty. We published our findings and rules these on the ShowMe iPad app so that we can help the entire world with our ShowMe videos! Do you remember what the formula or rules are? Does it work wit ANY number? Can you show us and prove it? How about those of you that came up with a set of rules for x20, will that work with any number? Add it to the blog and prove it!
