Maths

Summer maths flowers:

Draw a flower with 4 or 5 large petals. In the middle of your flower, write a target number of at least 10. You then have to write a number in each of the petals so that they add up to your target number. Below is an example for the target number of 15.

Number bond leaves to 10 or 20. Draw a big flower, put your target (10 or 20) in the middle of your flower. Use your number bond knowledge to write two numbers in each leaf, so that they add up to your target number!
