We used the book called: If The World Were Was A Village, to help us in maths

First our teacher, Mrs Campbell, told us only a little about the book so she didn't help us too much. Next we got into our maths groups Triangles, Squares and Hexagons. The Hexagons were the ones who got to use the book to help them with their maths. In the village there are only 100 people and each one of those people represent 64,000,000. 31 out 100 people in the village go to school and that's how we got the question 31x64 000,000. In the end Mrs Campbell picked up a calculator and showed us the simplest way to work it out eg.60x31= and 4x31. and the end results was approximately 1984,000,000 people go to school in the world.
