A Tricky Number Challenge...

This week in numeracy some Mulberry mathematicians were set a number challenge.

Using all of the numbers 1-6 once, all sides of a triangle can equal the number in the centre.

Working well with their partners, the children showed strong mathematical thinking when contemplating where the numbers should go in the triangle, and great resilience in not giving up when they found it tricky!

Here is a link to the challenge if you want to take on the challenge at home:
