Wednesday 1st April:
- Investigation for Everyone today (it doesn't matter what group you are in)
Huge Easter Egg prize (and I mean HUGE), for first person who completes this challenge and sends picture to my email with proof you've done it.
This is not tricky today - just needs some counting and doubling skills.
A Chessboard Challenge:
Follow the steps below in order
1.
First you will need to find a chess or draughts board, or even a snakes and ladders board (it must have at least 64 squares on). If you can't find one of these, make an 8 square by 8 square grid on a piece of papar the saem size as a chess board (you could use the centre pages of your yellow book.)
2.
You need a bag of rice to do this (and the rice can still be reused for cooking afterwards). If you haven't got rice, you can put dots on the paper with a felt-tip,
3.
Start on the first square with one grain of rice (one felt-tip pen dot).
4.
Double this and put 2 on the 2nd square.
someone is nearly there - heres EPs solution...

5.
Double this and put four on the 3rd, then 8 on the 4th and so on and so on, doubling each time until you get to the 64th square, Then take a picture and send it to me if you can.
Quick quick now, who;ll be first to finish!
Write down in your book what number you got to.
6.
If, for any reason, you don't get to finish putting the rice on (or dotting the square with a felt-tip I need to see a desription in your book of:
- What you did
- What you found out about maths in this challenge
- What number you think would be on the 64th square
- If there were any problems with this challeneg to do with the maths, what were they?
7. When you have finished all the above - and only when you have finished, clcik on these links to watch some youtube maths (but check first with your parents it is okay for you to access youtube)

Complete Page 41 - Areas of Non Right Angle Triangles
Tip from Mr H ;)
Challenge – For non right angled triangles, the height we are using is INSIDE the triangle, as if you are firing a harpoon up to the highest point of the ceiling, this splits the triangle in two, so you can make two rectagles. and find the area of each and half it. Or, you can just use the whole legth of the base multiplied by the inside harpoon height, and simply half you answer.d
