Numeracy

These maths games promote logical thinking and problem solving. They also support the development of resilience because children may need to persist and make mistakes to solve the problems. 

Magic Triangles 

Put the numbers 1 to 6 in the circles below, using each number once. Each side of the triangle should add up to 10.

Now try it with a triangle where each side should add up to 20. Some numbers have been filled in for you.

Flower Petal Puzzle 

Put the numbers 1 to 7 in a row of three, using each number only once, so that each straight line adds up to 10. If you can complete that challenge, try it again to find a new total, such as 12 or 14.
