Old Egyptian Maths CatsAncient Egyptians knew fractions like 1/2 or 1/4 ((one piece of a pie). For some reason, they never repeated the same fraction when adding; ie they never wrote: 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3/4 This website presents a range of Egyptian maths problems for you to solve. Good luck!

CatapaultYou have to fill in the missing numbers in the equations to stop Harvey being catapulted into the distance. Simply click on a number to select it. There are four ropes holding the catapult down, so you've got four chances. You'll see the ropes snap if you choose a wrong number. From some problems, even at level one, this game at times requires logical reasoning and good number skills. Or luck. I really love this game, but it is better I think for students who already have good number skills. Notes: http://www.channel4learning.net/sites/puzzlemaths/catapult.shtml
Make It CountYou have to find ways of using up to 4 numbers to match a target number exactly. You don't have to use all the numbers - but you can use each number only once. You can add, subtract, multiply, divide and even put them together. Each level will vary the number of signs you can use and the choice of digits will be reduced to increase the difficulty. Remember, there is always more than one way to reach the target number. Notes http://www.channel4learning.net/sites/puzzlemaths/make_it_count.shtml
