Grade 6 goes maths mad



"Numbers have life; they're not just symbols on paper."
 Shakuntala Devi




Maths maths all around !







The digits of the year 2016 need to be used only once in various combinations in order to come up with answers 1 to 100.
The students use their newfound knowledge of exponents and square roots to solve this challenging problem.




--.-  x. -.-= 100

A decimal multiplication problem which should have a product closest to 100.

 A few students finally  came up with 99.96.

Can you come up with a closer one?
