These Target Number Task Cards are perfect for revising number operations, and students love the challenge!

On each card, students are given a set of numbers and a target to reach. They can use the numbers in any order and apply any operation, as long as every number gets used.

In this pack, 3 levels are provided, with 36 cards in each (108 in total).

Level One uses 5 single-digit numbers with a 2-digit target, using addition and subtraction only

Level Two uses 5 single-digit numbers with a 2-digit target, using addition, subtraction and multiplication

Level Three mixes single and double-digit numbers, with bigger targets and all four operations

With 108 cards across three levels there's something to challenge every student in your class. Answer keys are included, but there are often multiple ways to reach the target number!

They work beautifully as a warm up, a maths rotation or a fast finisher activity, and students can record their working in the booklet, on mini whiteboards or straight into their books.

Outcome Codes: AC9M3N04, AC9M3A02, AC9M3A03, AC9M4N06, AC9M4A02, AC9M6A02

Maths Warm-Up: Broken Calculator

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.

Maths Warm-Up: Msytery Digits

Maths Warm-Up: Msytery Digits

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.
