Rule of Maths: If it seems easy,you're doing it wrong

Steven Adams has made 1320 baskets in his NBA career. He has made 60% of his shots.
If he makes over ⅔ of his shots, he will get  a $2 million bonus. In order to meet his 67% target
and receive his bonus, how many baskets will he need to make?
This problem is all about Steven Adams NBA life and
how many shots he made
in his NBA life and if he can make over ⅔ of all his shots he
has taken to get a $2 million bonus.
We were trying to find how many shots he need to make to get his
$2 million dollars bonus.
1320 = 60%
13202=660
660=30%
220=10%
2204=880
(1132=10%)4 = 528
How I work in a group
I am good at sharing my ideas confidently so that my  group understands.
I got better at asking questions when I am not sure and
so I can know what’s going on in the problem.
Something that was hard for me was when people are sharing
their ideas while I am sharing mine (I lose my idea).
I need to work on asking more questions in an understandable
way, and I also need to work on sharing my clever ideas so that we can
hurry up and get the problem done and dusted.
Isabel’s Feedback :

I think you we’re good at talking about how you are good at asking questions because in my opinion i think that is a smart maths strategy.

I think you need to work on using more of the success criteria so they no more information about your smarts in maths

Ugenes Athletic Story: Today I was exhausted, tired and sore. If you are still wondering what I am talking about, I am talking about 'Athletic Days’ My first activity was discus throw where I got bronze. I was good at cheering people on and using the right arm technique so I can throw the discus further. Something I liked was sprint's/long distances. At the end of the activity, I was sweating with tired legs. In sprints, I got silver and gold for long distances. I was good at not worrying if I was coming last I still persevered and kept on running. The activity I didn’t like was high jump I found it difficult to lift my leg and to jump high but the skill I used was to ignore any distractions happening and focusing on getting myself over the pole. My next steps are to use both my arm and leg movement so I can easily move my body to make it over the pole. The next activity was vortex, I got bronze. The technique I used was keeping my throw straight and not aimi...
