On Tuesday, 10th October, our Math Club was challenged with a maths countdown task.  Students from all year groups were asked to use arithmetic to reach a random target figure.  Each game started by choosing 6 numbers from 24 shuffled face-down tiles, then a random 3-digit number was generated by the countdown machine and students had 30 seconds against the clock to work out a sequence of calculations with only the chosen numbers to find the target number or to get as close to it as possible.  At the end of each round students shared their solutions with their peers.
