Olympic Maths Challenge

LI: to use the most efficient strategy to find the answers.

Today, we were looking at how we could solve another Olympic word problem. First, we gather the needed information. There are 250 squares in a badminton racket. With this piece of information we move to the next step and find out how many right angles in one square. Looking at a square, we see that there are 4 right angles per square. This means that the number problem is 250 x 4. When we multiply 250 four times, it gives us an answer of 1000. Therefore the answer to the question "How many right angles are on an entire badminton racket?"  is 1000.
