Maths Challenge

Today during self-guided learning some of us had a go at a maths challenge. I've copied it here so you can have a go at home. Use a bit of paper to help you. Good luck and don't give up!

Frances and Rishi were given a bag of lollies.





They shared them out evenly and had one left over.
Just as they had finished sharing them their friends Kishan, Hayley and Paul came along. They wanted some lollies too so the children shared them out again between all of them. This time they had two lollies left over.

How many lollies could there have been in the bag?

*Make sure both parts of the question are correct.

For experts: what if everybody had more than one lollie each?

Use the padlet below to explain your answer.
