N1/E2.8
Only existed in the old curriculum (solve + - x problems with a calculator). Now merged with N1/E2.7 (N1/E2.7 Solve problems with and without a calculator, and interpret + - x and = in practical situations )
I put this together to explore number calculations and word problems with a mixed group of adult learners, looking at estimating, ways of checking your calculations and ways of reversing calculations.

Village Fair – calculator calculations is a great way to practise money based problem solving on a calculator. It is followed by a fun set (30+ problems) of ‘calculator words’ where you must complete the given calculation and then turn your calculator upside down!
