Today we had our very first Friday Math Mash-up! This will be a regular Friday activity during which we will get together with our friends in Division 2 and do some fun and challenging math activities. Today we mashed up our classes and split into two groups, boys and girls, to try and solve this tricky bridge riddle:
The students got eagerly to work and there was a lot of discussion, drawing, and thinking as we tried to solve the riddle. At first the problem seemed impossible, but after a while, we began to find ways to make it work. After, we came back as a big group and shared some of our thoughts and watched the solution together. It was an awesome time for our learning community!
