Use reasoning and arithmetic to solve a complex Maths problem

The activity file contains a range of statements about the cost of keeping a dog. Use the PowerPoint file to share differentiated learning objectives/ targets with the children and then ask them to work through the statements in the Word file. The children should then organise their own work to present to others the cost of keeping a dog over a year. This problem requires a wide range of arithmetic, as well as reasoning skills in order to organise learning and to present to others. Perfect open ended investigation for upper Key Stage 2 children.
