Maths problem - help!

I didn't. But then I've never been able to 'do' Maths. I have the mathematical equivalent of dyslexia. DD2 has it too. It's been a struggle to understand anything mathematical! I don't think I'd get far with any KS2 paper
and I've always felt totally stupid because of my lack of understanding. My brothers teased me constantly about it and I was the butt of all the 'dimwit' jokes in the family.
I vowed I'd never do the same to my children, but I did help DD2 as much as possible and she gets by....as do I!

Ye gods I can't do any of these.
I'm just booking hotels and travel for a short jaunt with a friend and every single time I add up and divide by 2, I get a different answer. Numbers are EVIL.

You surely remember Chris Woidhead being unable to multiply a half by a third.

For KS2 tomorrow is the last day, Anno.

I'm not saying it's hard. I'm asking how many adults in the general population could solve it. Quickly.

It's not really all that hard, Mice, unless I have my reasoning completely wrong!

I found that question easy.

My GD is also doing SATs this week. I think today is the last of them.

My GD has been doing her KS2 maths today. I think she thought the mental maths paper was hard, but the second paper was OK.

Just had sight of the KS2 Maths paper for 10/11 year olds

n stands for a whole number

2n is greater than 30
5n is less than 100

Write all numbers that n stands for

I wonder how many adults could tackle that one with ease?

Of course, phoenix! But 42 what? Are zaphods a useful unit of measurement in this context?

As evry fule nose, the answer is ...........42.

120 circles with a radius of 137mm. would have a total area equal to that of the proposed circle containing them, but thus makes no allowance for the spaces between the small circles, so they would have to be significantly smaller.

Hmm.

(But not necessarily x 8!)

No - they do not overlap; and there needs to be a small space between each. I have come to the conclusion that circles of about 20cm would fit the bill.

As they say in a GCSE exam, could you please show your working Roderick.

If they overlapped, Jess, that would be a whole new ballgame!

Roderick take your finger off that button immediately!

My picture in my mind of a mandala would have a circle touching the outer circle at every three degrees but what do I know!

do they overlap?
