Does anyone have any fun maths puzzles i could use? Not too difficult - for a group of fairly bright 14 year olds :)
Yes, what what happens when an unstoppable force collides with an immovable object?
^Not math ik
haha that's funny :') but yeah i need them to be more maths related :)
Try answering my alg. 2 test question im re-doing: Write an equation for the parabola with a vertex at (2, -1) and y-intercept 5.
Oh "FUN" Didn't catch that.
Haha! Yes quite short and fun please!
What is i^27?
the majority of my class won't know what i is :(
Any particular type of math puzzle? Geometry? Probability?
Nothing in particular really.. one of the ones i'm doing, is \[x=\sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+\sqrt{6...}}}\]
Prove Pythagorean theorem. :D
I would but we've actually done that too many times now!
Someone else did the question about the childrens ages, where the eldest child has a cat with a wooden leg, if you know that one?
So a worded problem could be good :)
How about this: a bear is facing south. He walks forward for a mile, then turns right 90 degrees. He then walks forward another mile, then turns right 90 degrees again. He then walks a final mile forward. The bear is still facing south. What color is the bear?
Oh yes thankyou! I like that one :) Thanks for your help!
No problem :) Feel free to ask if you need any more!
