Solving problems

  • SOLVING PROBLEMS In Year Five children will be given problems involving larger numbers and various measures of distance, weight, capacity and time. Solving real life problems always involves using addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. Let's say you wanted to take the train from Sheffield to London and had to change at Peterborough. The first train takes 2 hours and the second takes 1 hour. So you might think the total time of your journey would be 3 hours. However, you haven't accounted for the time taken to change trains, and what time the second train is due to leave - it might take a total of 4 hours or maybe even longer. Play this quiz and see how good you are at solving problems by using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
