  1. Andrew T.

    Bronze:
    True because 8+6=14 and both 8 and 6 are even numbers
    Also any number ending in 2,4,6,8,0 are even numbers.

    Silver:
    36+0=36
    31+5=36
    33+3=36
    12+21=36

    Gold:
    20p + 5p = 25p
    10p + 10p + 5p = 25p
    2p + 20p + 1p + 2p = 25p

    Platinum:
    4+5+6 =15
    5+6+7=18
    6+7+8=21
    It’s adding 3 every time.

  2. Pugalini K.

    Bronze:
    Yes. True. Adding even number with even number will make even numbers only, as we adding even number(s) with even number(s).
    For example:
    2 + 2 = 4
    4 + 2 = 6
    6+2 = 8
    14 + 4 = 18
    Silver:
    1+35 =36
    2+34=36
    3+33=36
    4+32=36
    5+31=36
    6+30=36
    7+29=36
    8+28=36
    9+27=36
    10+26=36
    11+25=36
    12+24=36
    13+23=36
    14+22=36
    15+21=36
    16+20=36
    17+19 =36
    18+18=36
    19+17=36
    20+16=36
    21+15=36
    22+14=36
    24+12=36
    26+10=36
    28+8=36
    30+6=36
    32+4=36
    34+2=36
    36+0 =36

    Gold:

    Number of ways to make 25p

    5p+5p+5p+5p+5p = 25p.
    10p+10p+5p=25p.
    10+10+2p+2p+1=25p.
    10p+10p+1p+1p+1p+1p+1p=25p.
    5p+5p+5p+5p+2p+2p+1p=25p.
    2p+2p+2p+2p+2p+2p+2p+2p+2p+2p+1p=25p.

    Platinum
    Next number is 15.
    4+5+6=15.
    5+6+7=18.
    6+7+8=21.
    Patterns of 3 – answer goes up by 3. Like 3 times tables.

    1. Miss Bhangu

      Great work Pugalini! Fantastic effort.

  3. Saliha K.

    Bronze
    True, because if you add 2+2=4

    Silver
    30+6 , 32+4, 25+11, 19+17 , 27+9

    Gold
    5p+5p+5p+5p
    20p+ 5p
    10p +10p+ 5p

    Platinum
    4+5+6 = 15
    5+6+7= 18
    6+7+8= 21

    Pattern sequence is 3.

  4. Iver V.

    Bronze:
    I believe it is true because 2+2=4, 4+4=8, 6+10=16, 8+6=14, 22+10=32, 64+20=84,
    78+2=80.
    Silver:
    You can also make silver by:
    20+16=36, 7+29=36, 10+26=36, 33+3=36, 12+24=36, 18+18=36.

    1. Miss Bhangu

      Great work Iver! Challenge yourself with Gold.

  5. Faith A.

    It’s true.
    1+5=6
    5+9=14
    10+12=22
    Silver
    15+21=36
    2+34=36
    3+33=36
    Gold
    20p+5p=25p
    10p+5p+1p+3p+1p=25p
    10p+10p+5p=25
    Platinum
    4+5+6=15

    1. Miss Bhangu

      How do you know it is true Faith?

  6. Amelia B.

    Platinum:
    The next number after 12 will be 15. The pattern is that the sequence is going up by 3. So after 15 the next number would be 18.

  7. Musa S.

    Bronze:
    yes it’s true if u add 4+2=6
    Silver:
    36 +0=36, 18+18=36, 30+6=36, 37-1=36 ,38-2=36 ,29+7=36, 30+7-1=36,
    Gold:
    30p-5p=25p, 50p-30p-5p=25p,25p+0p=25p
    Platinum:
    4+5+6=15
    5+6+7=18
    7+8+9=24
    because it is always starting with the second number

  8. Rumaysa K.

    Platinum: the next number would be 15. The answers are going up in the 3 times tables. The next sum would be 5 + 6 + 7 = 18. The numbers in the sum are going up in order by adding 1 number.

  9. Austin Q.

    Bronze
    Yes it is true because when you add 2 even numbers togethers, is an even number.
    2+4=6
    8+2=10
    6+6=12

    36=10+26
    36=2+34

  15. Zayn S.

    Bronze –
    Yes it is true. I know this because I have added some even numbers together and the total is always even.
    2 + 6 = 8
    4 + 8 = 12
    6 + 10 = 16
    8 + 12 = 20

    Platinum –
    The next number would be 15 – I have noticed a pattern. The pattern shows
    9 – Odd number
    12 – Even number
    15 – Odd number
    18 – Even number

      This is not enough work, Aaron

  18. Sumaya T.

    Bronze,
    the answer is true because:
    2+2=4 (the answer is an even number because the numbers that make the anwer are even)
    6+6=12 (12 is also an even number because the 6 used to make the number 12 is even)
    8+8=16 (16 & 8 are even numbers)
