Use your knowledge of place value to try to win this game. How will you maximise your score?

In each of these games, you will need a little bit of luck and your knowledge of place value to develop a winning strategy.

Some of the numbers have fallen off Becky's number line. Can you figure out what they were?

Can you select the missing digit(s) to find the largest multiple?

Can you guess the colours of the 10 marbles in the bag? Can you develop an effective strategy for reaching 1000 points in the least number of rounds?

This problem offers you two ways to test reactions - use them to investigate your ideas about speeds of reaction.

Imagine we have four bags containing numbers from a sequence. What numbers can we make now?

Think of a number and follow the machine's instructions... I know what your number is! Can you explain how I know?

Are these games fair? How can you tell?

Players take it in turns to choose a dot on the grid. The winner is the first to have four dots that can be joined to form a rhombus.

Draw some isosceles triangles with an area of $9$cm$^2$ and a vertex at (20,20). If all the vertices must have whole number coordinates, how many is it possible to draw?
