Suppose you have 55 mats, 22 strips, and 55 units in one hand and 22 mats, 99 strips, and 66 units in the other. (a) Put all these pieces together and describe the exchanges required to keep the same total count but with the smallest possible number of manipulative pieces. (b) Explain briefly but clearly what kind of mathematics the manipulation in part (a) represents.

Step 1

- In one hand, we have: - Mats: 55 - Strips: 22 - Units: 55 - In the other hand, we have: - Mats: 22 - Strips: 99 - Units: 66 Now, let's add them together: - Total Mats = 55 + 22 = 77 - Total Strips = 22 + 99 = 121 - Total Units = 55 + 66 = 121 Show more…
