Impossible Maths – Key Stage 2
Free
Impossible, the game show, involves asking questions and giving three possible answers: one correct, one that’s incorrect but could be correct in a different context, an impossible answer. There are twelve questions on various different topics and this is designed to encourage reasoning and discussion. Getting the answer correct is obviously important but the discussion as to why the impossible answer is correct and the other one not correct for the context might be more interesting. Topics include fraction calculations, place value, rounding, coordinates, angles and others and could be useful for Year 7.
