I think it is takeaway sum because it shows takeaway symbol. The first symbol is three dots and two lines they equals thirteen The second symbol is a line which is five The third symbol is three dots and one line that equals eight The sum is 13 - 5 = 8.
The answer to the written symbols is 13 because the first symbol is 5 then next one is the addition sign then the one after that is 8 then the one after that is the equals sign and the last one is 13.
Mayan period of culture dated from 250-900 AD, although their society started well before this. Their civilization collapsed in the 9th century AD, so this system is not used any more. Zero looks like a baguette 1=1 dot 2=2 dots 3=3 dots 4=4 dots 5=1 line 6=1 dot on a line 7=2 dots on a line 8=3 dots on a line 9=4 dots on a line 10=2 lines 11=1 dot on 2 lines 12=2 dots on 2 lines 13=3 dots on 2 lines 14=4 dots on 2 lines 15=3 lines 16=1 dot on 3 lines 17=2 dots on 3 lines 18=3 dots on 3 lines 19=4 dots on 3 lines 20=4 lines And so on.
The sum the teacher gave us in English writing is 13-5=8.
The sum I thinck might be 13 because the numbers are different. 1 = one dot. 2 = two dots 3 = three dots 4 = four dots 5 = one line 6 = a line and dot And so on. So when a line add a line and three dots = 13.
Mayan numbers I think it is 13 – 5 = 8 because I know that: One dot = 1 One line = 5 One shell = 0 13 = two lines and three dots 5 = one line 8 = one line and three dots
As Gursiman has said that one dot is worth one, and 2 dots worth two. 5 is worth a horizontal line , so if you wanted to write 10 it would be one horizontal line on top of another . I think that the code that Mrs Gale has written is 13-5=8.
These Mayans symbols shows that the two horizontal lines is 10 & three dots top of that indicates 3 so the first one is 13... and the second one is 1 horizontal line indicates 5 so it is 5.... that means 13 - 5 = 8.
The Mayans used different symbols such as lines and dots. A line is worth 5 and a dot is worth 1. A line added to a line and 3 dots=2 lines and 3 dots which is the same as 5+8=13.

ReplyDeleteThe first symbol is three dots and two lines they equals thirteen
The second symbol is a line which is five
The third symbol is three dots and one line that equals eight
The sum is 13 - 5 = 8.

ReplyDeleteI think these symbols mean 5+8=13

ReplyDeleteMayan period of culture dated from 250-900 AD, although their society started well before this. Their civilization collapsed in the 9th century AD, so this system is not used any more.
Zero looks like a baguette
1=1 dot
2=2 dots
3=3 dots
4=4 dots
5=1 line
6=1 dot on a line
7=2 dots on a line
8=3 dots on a line
9=4 dots on a line
10=2 lines
11=1 dot on 2 lines
12=2 dots on 2 lines
13=3 dots on 2 lines
14=4 dots on 2 lines
15=3 lines
16=1 dot on 3 lines
17=2 dots on 3 lines
18=3 dots on 3 lines
19=4 dots on 3 lines
20=4 lines
And so on.
The sum the teacher gave us in English writing is 13-5=8.
It meet be HELLO
ReplyDeleteThe sum I thinck might be 13 because the numbers are different.
ReplyDelete1 = one dot.
2 = two dots
3 = three dots
4 = four dots
5 = one line
6 = a line and dot
And so on.
So when a line add a line and three dots = 13.

ReplyDeleteI think it is 13 – 5 = 8 because I know that:
One dot = 1
One line = 5
One shell = 0
13 = two lines and three dots
5 = one line
8 = one line and three dots
In numbers it is 5+8=18

ReplyDeleteone dot =1 two dots = 2 so then you carry one doing that until 4 , then the five equals one horizontal .
ReplyDeleteI believe that the code that Miss Gale has set us symbolises 5+8 = 13.
ReplyDeleteThese Mayans symbols shows that the two horizontal lines is 10 & three dots top of that indicates 3 so the
ReplyDeletefirst one is 13... and the second one is 1 horizontal line indicates 5 so it is 5.... that means 13 - 5 = 8.

ReplyDeleteThis symbol means 13-5=8
