Creating and manipulating expressions and formulae

My two digit number is special because adding the sum of its digits to the product of its digits gives me my original number. What could my number be?

We can show that (x + 1)² = x² + 2x + 1 by considering the area of an (x + 1) by (x + 1) square. Show in a similar way that (x + 2)² = x² + 4x + 4

Crosses can be drawn on number grids of various sizes. What do you notice when you add opposite ends?

A country has decided to have just two different coins. Which totals can be made? Is there a largest total that cannot be made? How do you know?

Think of a number and follow my instructions. Tell me your answer, and I'll tell you what you started with! Can you explain how I know?

Create some shapes by combining two or more rectangles. What can you say about the areas and perimeters of the shapes you can make?

These eleven shapes each stand for a different number. Can you use the multiplication sums to work out what they are?

Try entering different sets of numbers in the number pyramids. How does the total at the top change?

Can you find rectangles where the value of the area is the same as the value of the perimeter?

15 = 7 + 8 and 10 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4. Can you say which numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive integers?
