MATHS CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK – The Stroop Effect

Posted on February 15, 2013 by admin

Well done to Chloe Brs and Tom who both gave a correct answer to last week’s maths challenge – 5HPs to each of you!

Below is a maths challenge with a bit of a difference. Your challenge is to look at the picture and say the colour of the word, NOT what the word says.

For example for…
GREEN
…you would say “red” not “green” as the word is written in red.

Time how long it takes you to say every word correctly and then post your time below!

MATHS CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK – Dancing Shoes (For the second week running as nobody has given a correct answer yet….)

Posted on January 27, 2013 by Miss Shearer

Well done to all those who attempted last week’s challenge, with Demi, Megan and Andie earning 5HPs each!

Now time for this week’s maths challenge…

At the dance competition people had to dance in different groups of people.

When they danced in couples, one person was left over.

When they danced in threes, one person was left over.

When they dance in fours, one person was left over.

When they danced in fives, one person was left.

HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE AT THE DANCE?

Leave a comment below with your answer!
(If you are from another school we would love it if you had a go too 🙂 )

MATHS CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK – You wait ages for a bus then 3 come along at once…

Posted on January 20, 2013 by admin

Well done to all of those who commented on the Maths Challenge last week. Emily posted the highest amount on the blog so she can have 5 HPs – well done Emily! Miss Jackson also found a way to make £600 so I think she deserves 5HPs too!

Here is this week’s Maths Challenge…

Each bus can hold 11 passengers.

There are some families waiting at bus stop to get on the bus.

 The Simpsons (a family of 5 )
The Martins (a family of 2 )
The Jacksons (a family of 8 )
The Smiths (a family of 3 )
The Beckhams (a family of 6 )
The Garcias (a family of 3 )
The Adams (a family of 6 ).

Can you assign families to buses without having to split the families up?

Leave a comment letting us know who you would put on each bus.

MATHS CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK – Cash Converter

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Miss Shearer

Well done to everybody who attempted last week’s question. Both Andie and Kasha commented with correct ways to make 99 and have won 5 HPs each. Go back to the challenge to see their correct answers.

And here is this week’s challenge…

Start the maze with no money. Go through the maze, collecting and losing your money as you go. You may not go through any box more than once, and can only go into a box through a gap, for example, you may not go from 5 to 6, or from 7 to 3.

For example:

Start -> Box 1 + £100 (£100) -> Box 5 lose £50 (£50) -> Box 9 + £10 (£60) -> Box 13 lose £10 (£50) -> Box 14 + £20 (£70) -> Box 15 lose £10 (£60) -> Box 16 + £30 (£90) ->

I come out with £90 at the end of the maze.

What is the biggest amount of money you can come out of the maze with? Comment on the blog below and show your working – the person with the biggest amount at the end of the week will get 5 HPs!
