Once a week some mathematicians get together from year 6 year 5 and year 4 to do some thinking maths, we do lots of sheets of work. Some are really hard and some are really easy.
Today we had to do two number puzzles and one Tennis puzzle.It is very fun to do. Working together is good to share ideas and information - working with each other is challenging!

alternatively, you could download the article here and print it off.
Abacus Evolve
There are some useful documents at Abacus that link the Abacus Evolve objectives to the Primary Strategy objectives. This might help you find some resources to use if you are not using Abacus as the basis of your planning.
