MATHS CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK – Plus Plus Plus!

Well done to Charlie and Nicholas who answered the last maths challenge correctly with an answer of 27 triangles!

Here is your next maths challenge:

Where should you put plus signs between the digits below to make a total of 99?

9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

For example, you could try:

9 + 8 + 76 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 21 = 126 (too high!)

9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 45 (too low!)

There are two solutions to this problem but they are not easy to find so you may need to try a few different ways!

Have a go at this problem yourself and post your answer as a comment below.

Scooby’s Shadow

Last week Year 6 recieved a very important email. It said:

fakeemail

Being the kind and helpful year group that we are we set out to investigate how to change the size of Scooby’s shadow without changing the size of Scooby.

Armed with mini Scooby Doos, rulers and torches we headed for the dark depths of the Ideas Room and set to work.

We tried moving the light source closer and farther away from Scooby, and also tried moving Scooby closer and farther away from the light source. We then wrote up our experiment and some children found some time in their busy schedules to email Raja back. Below is what some of them had to say:

emilyscooby

meganscooby

jadenscooby

 kashascooby

nicscooby

We hope we helped you Raja! What do you think about our investigation? Leave us a comment to let us know 🙂
