Note to teacher: Doing this activity once with a class helps students develop strategies. It is only when they do this activity a number of times that they will have the opportunity to practise those strategies. That is when the learning is consolidated.

Teacher, do your students have access to computers such as tablets, iPads or Laptops? This page was really designed for projection on a whiteboard but if you really want the students to have access to it here is a concise URL for a version of this page without the comments: Transum.org/go/?Start=October18 However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below. |

Here is the URL which will take them to a great online activity based on the same idea and allow them to earn virtual trophies for each set of three ways the find of making a target number.
