About this activity

What your child practises

Skills: Binary numbers (level 3).

Logical reasoning, patience and step-by-step problem solving.

What’s included

  • 15 questions
  • An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
  • An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 13–18. That’s Grade 8–12 in the US, Year 9–13 in England, JSS 2 – SS 3 in Nigeria and Class 8–12 in India.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
  • Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
  • Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Mark each find with a highlighter or coloured pencil; seeing progress keeps children going.
  2. Puzzles make great early-finisher or calm-down activities – keep a few printed copies in a folder.
  3. Encourage teens to set their own target (say 12 out of 15) and track it over a few attempts.
