Year 1 Investigation: Snowflake numbers

Still chilly outside so a little ‘snowflake’ number investigation suitable for Year 1 children (5-6 yrs old). Given the numbers 1, 3 5 and 7 what addition sums can be made? Encourage working in a logical way.

The second question asks how many different answers can be made when subtracting. There are less possible different subtraction answers than addition.
