The progressive structure allows teachers to begin with highly accessible puzzles before introducing larger numbers, less obvious combinations and greater strategic demand.

Ideal for:

Maths starters and plenaries
Whole-class challenges
Early-finisher activities
Intervention and catch-up
Homework
Maths clubs
Cover lessons
Paired or small-group discussion
KS2 and KS3 arithmetic practice

This bundle is particularly suitable for pupils beginning the Number Target Challenge series or for teachers wanting a substantial collection of accessible but progressively demanding arithmetic puzzles.
