Did you find any more?
Did you develop any strategies for choosing numbers which might add up to 1000 or did you just type numbers into your calculator randomly?

Note to teacher: Doing this activity once with a class helps students develop strategies. It is only when they do this activity a second time that they will have the opportunity to practise those strategies. That is when the learning is consolidated.
