Prime Numbers: What's Wrong, and Why?

Katie and Abdul are talking about prime numbers. They're both wrong. Can you explain why they are wrong?

Katie says all prime numbers have to be odd. Her friend Abdul says that means 9, 27 and 45 are prime numbers.

Explain Abdul and Katie’s mistakes and correct them.

Calculating Perimeter

Today's maths challenge was to find the perimeter of shapes with missing lengths.  Pupils worked together in groups with peer experts leading the discussion, first colour-coding the sides and then using the bar model to help work out the missing lengths.  Some quick column addition and, hey presto, perimeter calculated!
