Hello today we had to work out this maths problem:
Lets imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive you must give it 3 ml of water every day. Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?
So the way I would solve this is with Written Form. So I would start with a drawing like this
Then I would go 3 x 5=15 so I put the 5 down and carry the 1. Then I go 3 x 6= 18 + the 1 we carried on would be 19, so we put the 9 down and carry the 1. then we go 3 x 3=9 +1=10 but because this is the last number we can just put down the 10. so the end result is drum roll please *drum drum drum*
1095!
I hope you enjoyed my blog post. Feel free to comment.

Hi Jasper,
