Maths puzzle!
Good afternoon all!
I hope you all had a relaxing half term break and enjoyed some time in the sun admiring all the lovely plants and flowers!
Welcome to summer 2! I can’t believe it is the last term of the year! 😭
I thought I would challenge you to a maths puzzle.
Read the instructions carefully!
You can email your answers or post on the blog.
Have fun and keep safe!😊

Great job Vihansa!
It was definitely a different type of challenge. Sometimes questions like this writing thing on paper might help or doing some drawings to help represent the question!
I like your use of multiplication to solve this!
Great job 😊

The two ways are:
1) 5 go-carts x 5 wheels =25 wheels + 4 tricycles x 3 wheels = 12 wheels = total: 37 wheels.
2) 5 go- carts x 2 wheels = 10 wheels+ 9 tricycles x 3 wheels = 27 wheels = total: 37 wheels -

I’m glad you found it a fun challenge! We’ll be working more on the 3x table in Year 3, so I hope you’ve been practising your 2x, 5x and 10x tables at home!
Don’t forget to use Times Tables Rockstars everyone!

1- 5 go-carts and 3-tricycles
(5×5 )= 25 , (3×4)= 12.
25+12= 37 wheels
2- 2 go-carts and 9 tricycles.
(5×2)= 10 . (9×3) =27 .
10+27 = 37wheels .
Hi Miss Essor, This number puzzle was little bit challenging. The answers are:
1. 5 Go carts and 4 tricycles. (5×5 =25) + (3×4=12) . If you add 25 and 12, altogether 37 wheels.
OR
2.9 Tricycles and 2 Go carts. (3×9 =27) + (5×2) = 10). If you add 27 and 10 altogether 37 wheels.
