Maths

Activity One

Theme Park Menu

Create a menu for your theme park’s café or restaurant.  How much will you charge for each item – make sure that your prices differ and are not all in whole pounds.

Ask members of your household to choose two, three or four different items – use your addition skills to total their items.  If they had £10/£20 could they afford all of their items?  Use your subtraction skills to find their change.

 

Activity Two

Play Four Ways

Using the rules:

Using + and/or –	With coins
Using ÷and/or x	+  -  ÷  x

 

Can you find ways to make different two-digit and three-digit target numbers? 

E.g. target 36

Using + and/or –   10+10+10+10-4	With coins   20p+10p+5p+1p
Using ÷and/or x   6X6	+  -  ÷  x   400÷10-4X1
