P7b were given a ‘Countdown’ style challenge as part of our mental maths today. We were given a target total and 6 numbers, we could only use each number once. We explored different approaches and came very close to the target total.

Can anyone help us or come up with a solution?

Target total: 598

100 50 25 4 9 10

-Remember each number can only be used once.
-You can use any operation e.g addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
