  • Problem Solving Workshop

    We were lucky to get to participate in some fun maths problem solving activites.

    Tetromino/Pentomino Challenge:

    Pupils used a set of geometric shapes to create rectangles and other patterns. The activity developed spatial reasoning, teamwork and problem-solving skills as children explored different ways to fit the pieces together and justify their solutions.

    Tower of Hanoi

    It's a puzzle with:

    • 3 pegs
    • A stack of discs of different sizes on one peg
    • The goal is to move the entire stack to another peg

    Rules:

    1. Only move one disc at a time.
    2. Only the top disc of a stack can be moved.
    3. A larger disc can never be placed on top of a smaller disc.

    For example, with 3 discs, you must move the stack from the left peg to the right peg using the middle peg as a temporary holding place.
