A set of 10 progressive multiplication and division sums. Children need to solve equations mentally leading them on a trail towards a target planet. The first challenge starts at the Sun and then work through all the planets and the final challenge ends with the dwarf planet Pluto. Use to develop a range of mental strategies.

Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.
Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each.
Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.
I've heard the Planet Challenge is great but don't have the resources and can't seem to find them anywhere online. Do you still have a copy of the resources that you can share with me and others please?
