Resources: A variety of concrete resources to support pupils
Activity: Give pupils any number between one and ten, for example, 6. Explain that ’6’ is the answer but you do not know what the question is. Ask pupils what the question might have been if it was an addition question? What if it was a subtraction question? How about a multiplication or division question? Give pupils the opportunity to come up with lots of different possibilities for what the question might have been using different operations.
