Well done to all of those who commented on the Maths Challenge last week. Emily posted the highest amount on the blog so she can have 5 HPs – well done Emily! Miss Jackson also found a way to make £600 so I think she deserves 5HPs too!

Here is this week’s Maths Challenge…

Each bus can hold 11 passengers.

There are some families waiting at bus stop to get on the bus.

 The Simpsons (a family of 5 )
The Martins (a family of 2 )
The Jacksons (a family of 8 )
The Smiths (a family of 3 )
The Beckhams (a family of 6 )
The Garcias (a family of 3 )
The Adams (a family of 6 ).

Can you assign families to buses without having to split the families up?

Leave a comment letting us know who you would put on each bus.
