Mathematical Challenges!

Dear boys

can you answer these tricky maths problems?  Post your answers on the blog!

1. Continue this sequence of numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13………… This sequence is so famous it even has its own name.  Try and find out what it is called.

2. Continue this sequence of numbers: 2, 4, 9, 16, 25………. What do all these numbers have in common?

3.  What is the square root of 64?

4.  What are the factors of 40?

5.  What are the first three multiples of 3?

6.  What are the four basic operations used in calculations?  You have used all four!

7.  Round 135 to the nearest 10

8.  Round 1124 to the nearest 100

9.  Round 1754 to the nearest 1000

10. Write a problem for someone else to solve!  Good luck
