First connect three
Add or subtract the two numbers on the spinners and try to complete a row of three. Are there some numbers that are good to aim for?


Doughnut percents
Can you work as a team to make doughnuts by matching these fractions, decimals and percentages?

Counting cogs
Which pairs of cogs let the coloured tooth touch every tooth on the other cog? Which pairs do not let this happen? Why?

Making cuboids
Let's say you can only use two different lengths - 2 units and 4 units. Using just these 2 lengths as the edges how many different cuboids can you make?


Pumpkin pie problem
Peter wanted to make two pies for a party. His mother had a recipe for him to use. However, she always made 80 pies at a time. Did Peter have enough ingredients to make two pumpkin pies?

Arrange the four number cards on the grid, according to the rules, to make a diagonal, vertical or horizontal line.

Cut nets
Each of the nets of nine solid shapes has been cut into two pieces. Can you see which pieces go together?


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

Factor-multiple chains
Can you see how these factor-multiple chains work? Find the chain which contains the smallest possible numbers. How about the largest possible numbers?

Different deductions
There are lots of different methods to find out what the shapes are worth - how many can you find?

Two and two
How many solutions can you find to this sum? Each of the different letters stands for a different number.

Quadrilaterals
How many DIFFERENT quadrilaterals can be made by joining the dots on the 8-point circle?
