We have been adding some excellent resources to the Year 1 section over the last few weeks, especially in our 'Challenges' section. These challenges are like the investigations carried out in schools and are often of the 'how many different ways? style of question. The idea is to encourage logical thinking and working in an ordered, structured way. Do have a look at these as they provide a much 'meatier' task than just a single worksheet with set answers. This particular challenge asks how many different ways 8 cubes can be put in 3 boxes and it would be a good idea to have 3 boxes and 8 cubes available so that this can be done in a real life context. Children can record their results on the table included. Year 1 Challenge: Boxes and cubes
