First of all, thank you for all who have already sent in either their ‘Women in Mathematics Day’ posters or the answer for the weekly challenge in The Numeracy Hive! Well done! 👍👏
Today, I thought we can have a bit of a brain exercise with a Broken Calculator activity.
Try to come up with all the answers, don’t give up, use your knowledge on the four operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing) and you can use BODMAS too!
Looking forward to your answers!
Have a nice day!

Today we are going to problem-solve with some brain teaser puzzles.
The first one is called Five Circles where you have to place the numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5 in the circles so that each line has the same total.
The second puzzle is called Pentadd where the numbers in the blue shapes are the sums of the letters in the red circles. What are A, B, C, D and E?
The last three puzzles are Hexagon Puzzles with increasing numbers to add or subtract. The last one is with decimal numbers. Can you solve all of them?
There are 5 bags of coins and two treasure chests. Your task is to place the bags of coins into the two chests so that the bigger chest has twice as many coins as the smaller. There are 3 different ways to do it. How many can you find?
There are two puzzles attached, one with the coins 1,2,3,4 and 5 and the other one with coins 5,10,15,20 and 25.
