    1) Yes, Isla has more than £1 because : 32p + 70p = £1.02

  5. Yaseen S.

    Gold

    1) Habib is right because when we add 10 to any ones – then ones stay the same.
    For example: 1 + 10 + 11 , 5 + 10 = 15 and 78 + 10 = 88

  6. Yaseen S.

    Silver

    Jessica has the largest number as she has 29 which is two more than Faith who has 27 ones.

  7. Yaseen S.

    Bronze

    1) 40, 41 and 43
    2) 55, 66 and 77

    Isla is correct because she has 32p and 7 x 10 = 70
    70 + 32 = 102
    So she has £1.02 altogether

  9. Junnut M.

    Platinum
    She is right she has 2p more then £1.
    7p × 10= 70p
    70p + 32p = 102p
    102p = £1.02

  10. Sharon A.

    Bronze the numbers can be 40 to 49 because they have four tens and the
    numbers that cannot be are the other numbers because they do not have four tens. Silver Jessica has the greatest number because 9 is more than 7. Gold, he is wrong because when you say a number like 31,32,33, the ones are changing. Platinum she is right because if she had 10p coins that would be 70p.

  11. Muhammad Y.

    BRONZE: 40,41,42. Numbers it can not be 10, 20, 30.

    SILVER: Jessica has the highest number because 9 is bigger than 7.

    GOLD: Habib is wrong because it depends on what number you add ten to. For example if you add 10 to 1 then you get 11. But if you add 10 to 5 you get 15.

    PLATINUM: She is right because she has 102p. This is more than 100 which is a pound.

    yes, Isla is correct.
    she had 32p.
    she got 10p lots of 7p that is 10p*7p = 70p
    32p+70p= £1.02p
    which is more than 1£

    She is correct because 7×10=70 and 70+32=`102 which in pounds is £1.02 so she has

    Examples

    Non-examples
    50,60,70

    Silver:
    Jessica because she has 2 tens and nine ones which is ’29’.

    Gold:
    Habit is correct because you don’t need to add any digit to the ones column because there is always a zero ( place holder ) in the ones column only for the number ten so if you add ten to any number for example 49 + 10 the answer will be 59 because your only adding to the tens column.

    45,47 and 40 all have 4 tens.
    32,92, and 52 all don’t have 4 tens.

    Silver
    Jessica has the bigger number since 27 ones is the same as 27 and 2 tens and 9 ones is the same as 29. 29 is greater than 27 no matter how you make the number.

    Gold
    Habib is correct because for example 12+10=22 and 22 has the same amount of ones as 12.

    Platinum
    Isla is correct because she starts with 32p and 7 lots of 10= (7×10)70p. €1 is the same as 100p. So 32+70= 102p which equals €1.02 being over 1 pound.
