    MAYAN NUMBERS SOLUTIONS

    TASK 1 From Mayan

    1 4×1 2 5+3 3 2×5+2 4 2 × 20


    =4 =8 = 12 0
    = 40
    5 5 × 20 6 5 × 400 7 14 × 400 8 2 × 8000
    11 0 × 20 7 × 20 9 × 400
    = 111 9 6 17 × 20
    = 2009 = 5746 14
    = 19 954

    TASK 2 From Hindu-Arabic

    1 Mayan numerals are written vertically, not horizontally like our Hindu-Arabic numerals.

    a 10 b 19 c 63 d 200

    e 341 f 420 g 6013 h 40 000

    2 6 = 25 =

    These two numbers could easily be confused if you did not leave enough space between the units
    and the twenties.
    CHALLENGE Arithmetic

    Each place value can be treated separately but, as with our system, sometimes numbers will ‘carry’ to
    other place values.

    1 take away =

    2 plus =

    3 plus =

    4 take away =

    5 multiplied by =

    6 multiplied by =

    7 multiplied by =
