How to help a 8–10 year old with number pyramids

In a number pyramid, each brick is the sum of the two bricks below it. Children fill in the gaps, practising addition (and later subtraction) inside a puzzle instead of a list of sums. At this age they mainly build addition, subtraction and number sense.

Bigger pyramids and larger numbers need a plan. Ask your child which brick to solve first and why.

Ten minutes a day is plenty. Stop while it is still fun, and praise the effort (“you kept going after that dead end”) more than the speed.

Questions parents ask

What is a number pyramid?

A triangle of bricks where each brick equals the sum of the two below it. Some bricks are empty and the child works them out.

What maths does it practise?

Addition to begin with, then missing-number subtraction, which builds early algebra thinking.

Are answers included?

Yes. Every pyramid is checked to be solvable and comes with a full answer key.
