P5A worked very well in teams today when completing a RICH task – Sticky triangles!
They were shown three lolly sticks made into a triangle. The challenge – Can you continue this pattern of triangles and begin to predict how many sticks are used for each new ‘layer’?
They used lolly sticks to help find a solution and then discovered a pattern to predict how many triangles and how many sticks would be in future rows. Fabulous! Can you figure it out too?
