We had this problem to do in class today –
“You need six drinking straws the same length. Cut two of them in half. You now have eight straws, four long and four short. Arrange the straws to make 3 squares all the same size”
We worked in pairs to try and solve the problem – it wasn’t easy but most people managed to find a solution.
You could try this problem at home – can you see if you can solve it by having no straws sticking out the side this time?
now that was really,really hard but fun
Waaayyyyyy too hard for me. Proof that I am not as intelligent as Luca may think.
