THE MATHS OF FIFTY
by Nathan G-K, age 7
Five lots of fi fty things
Five ways maths can bring
5 x 50 to get the
5 in the 250 words ring
Five kings to birthday sing
5 x 10
25 x 2
Who said maths isn't for you?
Two digits remain from
16 x 3 (48)
I really feel maths is for me
48 + 2
46 + 4
Another way to open the door
89 – 39
Isn’t 50 very fi ne
50 – 0 (zero)
50 is a super-hero!
Better not do take away
Cause this is a time for party and play
So if you divide 100 by 2
You'll get the number for you
So we looked at
Addition
Division
Subtraction
Multiplication

The Maths of Fift y by Nathan sticks
to the theme and really focuses on
the number fift y. Not only is it well-
structured but is also well written and
is an interesting read. Also, it rhymes!
Who doesn’t love a bit of numeracy?
