February Challenge - Years 3 & 4

A little bit of logical thinking needed for this one!

Each letter is worth a number of points. The points are added up to make the total for the word. Try to work out the number of points for each letter and then find the value of the last word.

TEE = 4   (so T + E + E = 4)

TEN = 6   (so T + E + N = 6)

NEST = 10   (so N + E + S + T = 10)

TENTS = ?   (How many points would TENTS be?)

Hint:  Start by finding the value of S.  What is the difference between TEN and NEST (both in total value and in letters)?

Solutions are to be completed by Tuesday 28th February.  Please post them into the Maths Challenge Box in the picture book library.
