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. This problem provides
children with the opportunity to make sense of numbers and reason
about them. Systematic working is also involved.
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
Some templates of the 4 by 4 square could be useful.
