10 Summary of Week 1

Congratulations on making it to the end of this week. You started by warming up your mathematical skills with some puzzles. By working your way logically through these puzzles to the answer, you have made a great start in honing problem-solving skills that you may not even have been aware that you had. As well as this, you’ve begun your study of the foundations of maths. This new knowledge will provide a solid base from which to move on to Week 2. In Week 2, you’ll return to problem solving and learn about a new operation – finding the power of a number. You’ll also look at how to round numbers and how to use a calculator.

You should now feel that you can:

• tackle maths activities with more confidence
• use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in different situations
• understand decimal numbers and place value.
