The final pack in the Ages 7 to 9 Maths collection, bringing money, time, measurement and data together into unscripted problems. Children decide which maths to use, filter out distracting information, estimate before solving, check whether an answer is reasonable, and re-plan when budgets are cut or plans change.

Choosing the right operation from a real situation
Finding the important information and ignoring the rest
Spotting what is missing before you can solve
Estimating first, then checking if the answer is reasonable
Comparing multiple plans and the £50 family day challenge
