Maths Warm-Up: Broken Calculator

This is one of those maths warm-ups that looks simple at first, but don't let that fool you because it gets students thinking flexibly, sharing strategies, and proving there's rarely just one way to tackle a maths problem.

Some of the best maths conversations happen when there's more than one correct answer. That's exactly why this is one of my favourite maths warm-ups. It's a low floor, high ceiling activity that gets every student thinking, no matter where they're at.
