Super Darts

Jetta has just been given a dart game for her birthday. The board has an outer ring and an inner ring. The outer ring scores 3 points and the inner ring 7. Jetta was bored with only using three darts . She wondered if she used as many darts as she liked whether she could get 58 points.

Can she get 58? If so, in how many ways can she get 58?

(If she can’t get 58 find a number in the 50s that she can get and see how many times she can get that number.)

Calculator count to 1000


Select a number less than 20. Skip count
with it to 1000.
How many numbers can you find that will
hit no hundreds through to 1000.

Pocket Money


Sally and David have agreed to work for their Mum over
the holidays. The pay they get will vary though. Sally will
get $10 for the first day she works and two more dollars
for every day she works after that.
David, on the other hand, will get $1
for the first day he works but for each
day he works from then on his pay will
be doubled. Who would you rather be
and why?
