    okay, who can do my 8 year old's maths homework? Get cards numbered from 0 to 9, and using all ten cards rearrange them to make 5 prime numbers.

    ETA: I couldn't! He cheated by using 02 rather than 2.

    2 is a prime - clever lad you have ;)

    Factorising Quadratics. Revolting.

    Long division involving 4th powers is much more fun:D

    I assume one number has to be three digits to use the 0 in the middle then if it can't be a leading number as any number ending in zero can't be prime?

    My guess would be:

    503
    2
    41
    67
    89

    Love all of it.
    Algebra, trigonometry, calculus, shape, factors, similtaneous equations, quadratic equatons, pi, imaginary numbers, vectors, fractions, percentages. Love em all!

    Hate: anything to do with learning forgeign languages - particularly verbs!

    Go to Debt Free Wannabes - you'll find plenty of people there who are all too well acquainted with negative numbers.

    Youre right...maybe my lack of understanding is a good thing because I don't spend what I haven't got!

    It gets even worse if she does A level maths. You get imaginary numbers then.

    I'm a dyslexic artist, there is no hope of me ever being able to help with maths homework...but I could probably draw those imaginary numbers!
