Primary 7 have been sharing strategies with each other during our number talks  – we start with a question or a target number and they work in partners to solve it. Children will share their strategy with other pairs and together we will discuss all the different ways we can arrive at the same answer.

Countdown is a popular game in Primary 7 – the challenge is to use the numbers available and the four standard operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to hit the target.  There is an online version that children can access at home: https://nrich.maths.org/6499
