Level 16 introduces the expert phase of the Number Target Challenge programme. Three or four large numbers may be present, and the number of productive solution paths is significantly reduced. Pupils must evaluate the supplied numbers carefully before beginning. Large products can quickly move beyond the target, while early division may remove a number needed for a later step. The resource provides: 20 expert-level number puzzles Timer-enabled classroom PowerPoint Macro-free standard PPTX Printable PDF version Solver-verified targets Progressive challenge across the set This level is most appropriate for confident KS3 and KS4 pupils, maths clubs, enrichment groups, competition preparation or high-level starter activities. The puzzles reward systematic exploration rather than uncontrolled guessing. Pupils may benefit from working backwards, considering the target’s factors or constructing a nearby value that can be adjusted precisely. Teachers can extend the activity by asking pupils to justify why their chosen first move is productive or compare two successful routes. Level 16 begins the final five-level section, where sophisticated numerical insight and resilience become increasingly important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYour download\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 level, containing 20 puzzles.
