Hello! Happy Monday!
Today in Math we set out to solve the following problem:
How Many 7’s
If you write out the numbers from 1 to 1000, how many times will you write the number 7?
Working in randomized groups of three at the white boards, we each approached the question a bit differently and were stumped when Mme kept telling us we didn't have the right answer! What?!
After a few hints and some re-working, a few of us were able to find the solution, and moved on to the extension question: Would the answer be the same for each digit (0 - 9)? What digits might have a different answer and why?
Please ask me about my work: what approach did my group take? Did we arrive at the answer? How would I organize my work next time to make it easier to follow?
