Term 5 - Maths

Now that the SATs are over, we've been consolidating some of our maths learning by taking part in some collaborative maths investigations. We've been working on this one for several days and the children have noticed a lot of patterns and relationships hidden within the arrangements of counters. 

We have predicted several ways of working out how many counters will be in each ring, and how many counters will be used in total for different numbers of rings, and now we are trying to prove our predictions work mathematically!

If they were correct, they kept the pair of cards. The winner was the player with the most pairs!
