Description: For teachers' notes and more episodes: bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/maths-ks2-adding-and-subtracting-using-mental-methods/z2q4g7h In a mythical temple full of obstacles, Olivia and Hassan learn simple mental maths and apply it to work out the passcode to open the door. Hypatia, our great mathemagician, sets a question which they must work out correctly to open the door: 15,712 + 2200. With the help of mathematical companion Archimedes, the pupils learn simple mental maths and apply it to work out the answer. Once they have left the temple, Hypatia and Archimedes leave pupils with a further mental subtraction question. This short animated film is from the BBC Teach series, Hypatia's Mathematical Maze. A series of short animated films for primary schools, following the adventures of Olivia and Hassan as they're challenged with maths problems to find their way through Hypatia's mathematical maze. Suitable for teaching maths at KS2 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2nd Level in Scotland.
