Number Plate Challenge

To celebrate the end of Maths Week, we faced off in a Number Plate Challenge.  Using the cars in the school car park, we had to work on our own to find the answers the following questions:

• Which car has the greatest total (numbers only)?
• Which car has the lowest total (numbers only)?
• What is the total if you add all the number plates together?
• If A=1, B=2, C=3 etc, which car has the greatest total (letters only)?
• If A=1, B=2, C=3 etc, which car has the lowest total (letters only)?
• Can you round the numbers of each plate to the nearest 100?

 

We all enjoyed working on this activity - we'll never look at number plates in the same way again!
