POW: Don't Cave In
Problem:
Recently, archaeologists were studying cave art near the Kiasies River
in South Africa. They discovered what looked like number sentences
‘on the wall of a cave. The numbers were written with the same digits
‘as ours, but the symbols showed that the operations were different.
‘Several number sentences are listed below. Use these samples to
relate our operations symbols with the symbols from the cave.
(7803 Y 18)b2=64
(10 65)03=5
90 66=49 (247 16) 93
List what operation each symbol represents. Show all of your work.
Use the write-up sheet to explain how you figured out the symbols on
the write-up sheet,
THEN write a true number sentence using all of the symbols at least
once.
