Lucy put Kel’s maths knowledge to the test on air asking him questions given to their daughter as year 6 maths homework. According to Lucy, both her and her daughter Shiloh have the same kind of brains – ones not wired for maths but attracted to beautiful things like art, culture and fashion. Anything BUT Maths! Lols!
Kel was unable to answer the first question Lucy asked, exclaiming “I’m out” after a slight pause and attempted to answer the second question but was incorrect. Luckily for Lucy, the answers were at the back of the book!
The lesson – Primary school Maths is HARD for Adults. We miss the good old days where kids would do simple adding, subtracting, multiplying and division!
So do you think you could answer this Year 6 question?
- Using the numbers 5,2,8,7,9,3,1 and 0 – What is the largest number that can be made if the digit one is in the tens of millions place?
- Using the numbers 5,2,8,7,9,3,1 and 0 – What is the smallest number that can be made if the 9 is the last digit but is used as 9/10ths?
