Numeracy

Another Monday, another maths challenge! I wasn’t able to hear any answers for the flower question last week because I was away. I wonder if anyone can calculate the number of days children are sick during their first year of childcare - I bet it’s a big number! 

 I hope the flower activity brought some maths into your home and got you talking about numbers. Here is a new one for this week. 

This question is an open ended question, which means it can have a few answers. The great thing about open ended questions, apart from the variety of responses, is the fact that you often have to explain your thinking which leads to some great discussion! 

I am thinking of 2 numbers on the hundreds chart. One number is 15 more than the other. One of my numbers has a 3 in it. 

What might my 2 numbers be? How many answers can you think of?
