SUDOKU The challenge of Sudoko is to fill the grid with numbers. The big grid has the dimensions 9 x 9. This is separated into 9 smaller boards of 3 x 3. Here are the rules: 1. You can only use the numbers 1 to 9. 2. Within each 3 x 3 grid you must place ALL the numbers from 1 - 9. 3. You cannot use the same number twice in any row or column. This means ALL the numbers from 1 - 9 must appear on each row and each column. Now complete the Sudoku challenge.

FINGER MULTIPLICATION
We all carry a calculator around with us that is simple to use and easy to learn. We can all use our fingers to learn the multiplication tables for the hardest number combinations - 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Step ONE: Remember these finger values.

Step TWO: Now try multiplying 8 H 7=

Step FOUR: Multiply the folded fingers.
2 H 3 = 6
Step FIVE: Finally, add the two numbers together.
50 + 6 = 56
8 H 7 = 56
You have now found the answer.

MORE MULTIPLICATION Multiplication by 9: Method 1 This method is called fingers multiplication by 9. The previous finger multiplication works for combinations of 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. This method only works for the 9 times tables. Step ONE: Put your two hands on the table in front of you. Your fingers can each represent the numbers 1 to 10.

Step TWO: Try multiplying 9 H 3. Curl under the finger representing 3.

Step THREE: The first digit in the answer is the number of fingers before the curled under finger. The second digit in the answer is the number of fingers after the curled under finger.

Multiplication by 9: Method 2 This is called the one less = nine method. Step ONE: Subtract 1 from the number you are multiplying 9 by. This is the first digit. Step TWO: The two digits that make up the answer add to give 9. Calculate the second digit.
9 H 4 = 36 4-1=3
3+6=9
Remember that these methods only work up until 9x10. Find a calculator and write out the 9 times table up to 30. Can you see a pattern emerging?

MightY Math MATURING MATHEMATICIAN for 7 - 9 year olds
Book 1: Sailing Into Mathematics Builds an awareness of numbers and number relationships. It covers methods of multiplication, number patterns, ordinals and counting up to 1000, adding and subtracting strategies, fractions and money calculations. By the end of this book children will have more confidence when manipulating larger numbers.
Book 2: Sailing On With Mathematics Introduces more number sequences, arithmetic strategies, measurement and fractions. By the end of this book children will have gained confidence with arithmetic and will recognize the value of each digit that makes up a number.
Book 3: Sailing Away With Mathematics Reinforces all the work covered in the previous two Maturing Mathematician books. There are more arithmetic strategies, more fractions and more measurement. By the end of this book children will be confident in their ability to manipulate numbers.
The MIGHTY MATH series is a structured, easy-to-follow series of fun activities designed to stimulate and challenge.
Beginner Mathematician (for 4 - 6 year olds), look for the RED books. Developing Mathematician for (5 - 7 year olds), look for the YELLOW books. Advancing Mathematician for (6 - 8 year olds), look for the BLUE books. Maturing Mathematician for (7 - 9 year olds), look for the GREEN books.
