It’s getting very close to Christmas now and with many activities going on in school why not try a little Christmas maths as well?
This page is quite an open ended challenge as all the possible combinations of presents need to be found. There are four items with prices; a set of beads for £2, a box of chocolates for £3, a bag for £5 and a bottle of perfume for £7.
The task is to find as many different combinations of presents that can be bought for up to £10. The key here is that the whole £10 does not have to be spent.
So 3 sets of beads and a box of chocolates is one possibility, costing £9 in total.
As usual, look for well a well organised logical approach.
