YEAR 4 - 11 PLUS SMALL GROUP STARTING SOON. ENROL NOW!!!
Here’s a puzzle to try:
"I am thinking of a number. Double it, add 6, and you get 20. What's my number?"
No calculators allowed!
This is exactly the kind of ‘working backwards’ question that trips up a lot of children in SATs and 11+ papers. The trick is starting from the answer and undoing each step in reverse order.
TUITION FOR students in Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 3, with a particular focus on maths, English, SATS AND 11 PLUS..
