Booster maths worksheet 11

The writers of the SATs papers love little puzzles such as the square shown on this worksheet.

using2.png Those lovely people who write the SATs really like little mathematical puzzles. One such puzzle is to fill in missing numbers in a square or block. There will always be a logical way to find the answers, usually by completing what is possible will lead to the creation of the next possible step until the whole square can be completed.

They also like questions with multiple steps and many possible answers: question 2 is one such. The approach here is to add the two given numbers (300 + 600 = 900) and then subtract the 900 from the total of 1200. The two numbers have to add up to 300 and could be any combination. Taken step by step this is not difficult but as I have stated before, many children find it very difficult indeed to work through to an answer if it requires more than one step.
