Why do this
problem?
This activity can be fun to do and involves the pupils doing a
number of calculations - probably without them realising it. It
has the facility to be extended very easily.
Possible approach
Just straightforward as shown on the site.
Key questions
How did you decide on your route?
Possible extension
Ask the pupils to invent new ones and ask them how they make
them harder/easier.
Possible support
Just some templates of the 4 by 4 square could be useful.
