Thank you to those who took on the Farmer’s fence activity. We had several entries this week. A big congratulations to all of you for some clever maths thinking. Well done to Emma from 2 Emerald for receiving this week’s prize! 

This week it is our Year 3 and 4 students who get to share their wonderful maths thinking with me.

Tea cups and saucers:      

There are four sets of tea cups and saucers: a set of white, a set of red, a set of blue and a set of green. In each set there are four cups and four saucers altogether. How many different combinations of cups and saucers can you create? Estimate before you try and solve this.

This problem is sourced from nrich maths.

Send your answers (don’t forget to show me your working out) via email to Mrs Blackwell catherine.blackwell@cg.catholic.edu.au or write it all out on paper and put it in your notebag to send to the office by next Friday morning. The winner will be drawn at the end of our Friday Assembly.
