Maintenance Maths

Name: Sam

Date: 6th June 2018

To day in room 7 we did a maintenance site called two step

Equations and as you can see here I have an image of what

it looks like.

It's a game where you have to work out the equation

and see if it's correct to score a point for your team so

basically it's a easy game sok if you get it right that's 1

point for your team and if you get it wrong that's no

points and you restart and get switched to the other team.

What i Learnt from this is how to solve equations using integers.
