It was great to see so many kids online connecting with each other. I thought they did a great job with the open ended maths problems too. The purpose of these problems is to spend some time playing around with maths, rather than just looking for the one 'right' answer.
Here are some other similar problems to work on before out next session. Give them a go and bring your answers and anything you're stuck on to the next session. I encourage you to get several answers for each question and, if you're very confident, try to record the answers in different ways.
