Use all 4 numbers to make 24. 

For example the top left card's solution could be (5x2)+(2x7) = 10 + 14 = 24

Comment your solutions for the other cards. 

1 Team Point for the first for each card.

I have been accused of setting a puzzle (bottom left) that is unsolvable, I can assure you that it is possible. Come on get those thinking caps on.

Sorry, Mr Brooks: had to solve the last one for you!

(7-4)+1 = 4
4 x 6= 24

3rd one is eluding me so far though. Come on mathematicians!
