Well done Lily! Could you use any squared number facts to create a calculation that equals 24?
2 4 6 8
add division multiplication and subtraction
6×4=24
4×6=24
8×4=32 6+2 =8-32=24
8×6=48 divide by 2 = 24
Well done Erin! Are there any repeated additions we could use too? (you can use each number more than once this time)
6×4 = 24
6×2 =12 +4=16+8=24
6×8=48*2=24
4×8=32-2=30-6=24
2×8=16+6=22+2=24
Well done Jack! I’m glad to see that you have divided to make 24 too!
I can’t wait for this maths this week. Maths is fun to do so I love it.
I’m glad you enjoy it Harrison! We have a measures mission to look forward to this week!
Using all four operation and 2,4,6 and 8 once and get to the target number 24 ??? This is how you could do it…
6 x 4 = 24
4 x 6 = 24
4 + 6 + 6 + 8 = 24
6 + 6 + 8 + 4 = 24
6 x 8 – 8 + 4 = 24
8 x 6 divided by 6 – 4 = 24
6 x 8 divided by 6 – 4 = 24
4 – 6 divided by 6 x 4 = 24
Fab effort Maddison! Can you think of any more (if we were allowed to use the number more than once) ?
Hello. Class 12 I think I have worked these out correctly
6×4
12×2
48divide2
28-4
20+4
I enjoyed having a go at this too!
8 × 6 = 48. 48 ÷ 2 = 24
4 × 6 = 24
8 × 4 = 32 – 2 – 6 = 24
4 x 6 = 24
8 + 4 = 12 x 2 = 24
2 x 8 = 16 + 6 + 2 = 24
8 x 6 = 48 :- 2 = 24
8 x 4, = 32 -6 – 2 = 24
4×6
6×4
8+4×2
8×4-6-2
These are the only ones I could think of don’t know if there is anymore
4×6
6×4
8+4×2
8×4-6-2
These are the only ones I could think of don’t know if there are any others
Charlotte Askwith
8X2=24
I worked it out by doing all the times tables for 2,4,6,8. I tried Lolas of different way to get 24 but 8X2 was the only way.

Hi Charlotte! Thanks for having a go! Let’s have a chat during today’s lesson 🙂
