Facebook seems to be full of maths teasers like the ones below at the minute, but I am astounded how many adults post incorrect answers (at least 75%).

My 10 year old got all of these correct first time, yet many regularly bemoan the perceived lowering of educational standards - I think these kids are learning plenty! SmileSmile

Thanks Corners, nice vid!

....and that should give you a helping hand for 1 & 4, which also require the use of BODMAS.

(but you need to look closely at the graphics too, its not as straight forward as it looks and assumptions must be made/stated).
