Maths Road Show

-Brownie and Moonbeam-

On Friday the 28th April we had our maths roadshow. A maths roadshow is when P 2-7 go and do loads of maths puzzles and games! They were laid out from 1 to 100. There were 4 sections: very easy was green, yellow was easy, red was hard and blue is very hard. We set them out round the hall in order and then were given a sheet to mark down the things we'd done. A teacher would check them once we'd finished.

I was working with Menace. We only got 2 puzzles completed because we spent most of the time trying to figure out one of the hard puzzles. We didn't actually manage to finish it in the time we were given in the hall so Mr Devereux let us finish it it in the class room. The actual puzzle was to move wooden circles between 3 poles without putting one that was bigger on top of one that was smaller while counting how many moves in was by tallying. The total of our moves was 123. I think the maths roadshow is great and would do it again!

My partner was Izzy. We got 1 puzzle done but it was the second hardest! We spent most of our time on the hardest puzzle in the whole hall! It was putting cards down in a certain order. The second hardest one was putting the same number next to it it was so hard. I'm proud of myself for doing the second hardest puzzle. I really enjoyed it and I'd do it again!
