Got some whizz-kids who have bashed through absolutely everything you (and for that matter, we)have to offer on finding a quarter of a quantity? A frustrating position to be in for sure. But, fear not! We've created this Year 1 Find a Quarter of a Quantity challenge to get those little gears turning. The resource encourages mathematical discussion as well as systematic thinking in order to get to the bottom of the problem. An answer sheet has also been provided for you, in order to save some time or to get children to think about the different ways to solve the problem.
