What skills we want children to develop
Use knowledge to solve reasoning and problem solving questions such as:
Always, sometimes, never?
- Is it always, sometimes or never true that when you square an even number, the result is divisible by 4?
- Is it always, sometimes or never true that multiples of 7 are 1 more or 1 less than prime numbers?
Making an estimate
- Circle the number that is the best estimate to 932.6 - 931.05
1.3 1.5 1.7 1.9
Convince me
- Three four-digit numbers total 12435. What could they be? Convince me.
