Good morning Class 4! ☀️
Firstly, well done to everyone for continuing to check the blog and have a go at each of the tasks! You are all amazing!
Secondly, apologies I have had some technical difficulties so it is a slightly different challenge today, hopefully the answers for yesterday’s challenge can go up soon! I will post who got them correct so keep checking back!
So today’s challenge is…
Can you make the number 683 using these numbers:
25, 3, 6, 9, 2 and 3
You can you add, subtract, multiply and divide. For example 2 times 9 is 18, then you could do 18 times 25 to get 450 ?
Let’s see who can get the closest to the number 683. I wonder if anyone will get exactly 683?
Good luck! 😀

Hi Miss Lee!
Did I have to use only one times each number or not?
6+3=9 6-2=4
9X9=81 4X6=24
81+2=83 24X25=600
83+600=683
25 times 9=225 times 3=675+6+2=683
Well done for reaching the target number! However, you have not used the second number 3!
Good morning ,
I have managed to get to 683. Here are my workings;
– 9 times 3 = 27
– 27 times 25 = 675
– 675 + 6 + 2 = 683
This is how I got my answer- 683.
You have not used the second number 3! But you did reach the target number so well done!
25×9=225
225×3=675
675+6=681
681+3=684
684-2=682
682 is the closest that I got to 683
Well done for using all of the numbers! 1 away! You were SO close!
6×9=54+25=79×9=648+25=673+9=682
Good work Alfred, however you have used the 25 twice!
Hello Miss Lee
25×9=225
6:3=2
225+2=227
227×3=681
681+2=683
Good work Martin! You have used all 6 numbers!
Step1
25 x 9=225
Step2
225 x 3=675
Step 3
6+2=8
Step 4
675+8(step3)=683
Answer 683
Great work Ajay! However, you have not used all of the numbers!
Good morning Miss Lee & class,?
✍?
My answer:
25×9=225
225×3=675
675+2×3=681
Well done, so close!
I forgot
25×9=225
225×3=675
675+6+2=683!!!??
Well done for a second attempt! You made it! However… you have not used all of the numbers!
my answer is 683 because i did 9×3=27 then 27 x 25 = 675 +3=678 +3= 681+2 =683
Great work Nina but you have used too many number 3’s! There are only two available!
I got to it!
25×9=225
225×3=675
675+6=681
681+2=683 🙂
Good work Rafael! However you have not used all of the numbers!
Hi Miss Lee!?
My answer is 683 because:
25 x 9= 225
225×3=675
675+6+2=683
(The highest number I could make was 8220)
Well done Vincent, but you have not used all of the numbers! Great idea to challenge yourself to see which was the highest number you could make! 😀
Hello Miss Lee and everyone,
The closest I could get with all my tries is …..
25 x 9 x 3 = 675
then 675 + 6 = 681
then 681 +3 = 684, and
684 – 2 = 682.
This uses all the numbers ?, but is 1 out from 683 ?
Hello! 😀
Great work Lucy! SO close!
Good morning Miss Lee ?
Here are my answers:
1. 25×3=75×9=675+6+2=683
2. 3×9=27×25=675+6+2=683
I hope its right ??
Hello Clare 🙂
Well done for getting to the target number, however you have not used all of the numbers!
25×6=150
6-2=4
150×4=600
3+6=9
9×9=81
600+81+2=683
Great work Pablo, but you have not used all of the numbers!
My answers are:
25×9=225×2=450
3×6=18×3=54
54+450=504
Good try Stella! You were not far off!
9×3=27×25=135+144=1675-1000=675+10=685-2=683
Well done Holly, but some of the numbers you have used are not from the numbers given!
hello miss lee:)
my closest number to 683 is…
675!!!
I came up with this by..
first I started off with the biggest number first.And I knew it would be
25 on the list you put on.So I put down 25 on my piece of paper.
and then, the biggest method was x’s.so I looked for the 2nd biggest number, and that was 9. so I wrote down 25 x 9 and I came up with…
225!!
so theni did 225 x 3 because if you want to save the 6 for the last sum, you need to find a different number. so I chose 3. so once again, I used x’s.so I did 225 x 3 which I came up with….
665!!!
but I thought, maybe I could make even 683 itself!!! so I tried using the one I saved up for, 6. So I did 675 x 6, and thats where it got too high. so I thought,”just leave it, no bother having it so high.”
and that’s my number!!!
thanks miss lee and classmates 🙂
Hello Amarissa!
Some good ideas! Don’t forget you can use a mixture of multiply, divide, add and subtract, you don’t have to just pick one!
For example, instead of doing 675 x 6 you could have done 675 +6 = 681 and then you would be even closer to the target number! 😀
25 x 9=225
225 x 3 =675
675+6=681
681+2=683.
Good work Holly, but you have not used all of the numbers!
My answer is
683 Because 25×9=225 Then 225 x 3=675 Then 675+6=681 Then 681+2= 683
Well done William, however you have not used all of the numbers!
6*9=54
54*25=1350
1350/2=675
675+3+3=681
Paolo with the help of Carlo and Mum
Great work Paolo! And lovely to see you worked as a team with your mum and brother 😀
Well done for getting so close to the target number and for using all of the numbers!
Another possibility is
9*3=27
27*25=675
675+6+2=683 yeeeeeh
If we are not allowed and we have to use all of them
675+6+3-2=682
Good try! You got it correct but you do need to use all of the numbers I’m afraid!
Hi everyone,
I have had lots of answers for this post. Don’t forget, I will approve them later this afternoon so that everyone can have a go without seeing each others’ answers!
It is great that so many of you have had a go at this challenge and even asked your brothers, sisters, parents and other family members to have a go too! 😀
It is always fun to do things as a team!
Thank you to those that noticed the 3×9 mistake earlier (oops!), I have corrected it!
Hi miss Lee
My answer I ended up with was the right answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
25×9=225
225×3=675
675+6=681
681+2=683
Bye, Tijne
Hello Tijne!
Well done for reaching the target number 😀 however, you do need to use all of the numbers!
Hello, Miss Lee, The closest number to 683 is 681 this is how I got it:
25×3=75
75×9=675
6-3=3
3×2=6
675+6=681
(The Question was very similar to a show called countdown)
Hello Raimundo! You’re right! This is very similar to Countdown! 😀
Well done, you were SO close to the target number!
Good morning Miss Lee,
answers:
25×9=225
