Maths Share has changed. Each fortnight you will receive a page of problems. There are 3 levels: mild, hot or spicy. Choose which level you’d like to have a go at and place your entry in the NEW entry box at the office! Two winners will be drawn out each week. Happy Maths Sharing!

THE SPICY PROBLEM: Highest and Lowest

Put operations signs (+ or − or × or ÷) between the numbers 3, 4, 5, 6 to make the highest possible number and lowest possible number.

How about trying with numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6?
