7. http://nrich.maths.org What are the coordinates of the mid-point between (2, 1) and (6, 9)? which pairs of points have (4, 5) as a mid-point? if (4, 5) is one third of the way along a line what could the two end-points be? what other integer points lie on the line joining (2, 1) to (6, 9)? can you find two (or more) ways to find the mid-point between two points?

10. http://nrich.maths.org I don't expect, and I don't want, all children to find mathematics an engrossing study, or one that they want to devote themselves to either in school or in their lives. Only a few will find mathematics seductive enough to sustain a long term engagement. But I would hope that all children could experience at a few moments in their careers... the power and excitement of mathematics... so that at the end of their formal education they at least know what it is like and whether it is an activity that has a place in their future.
