(ref.:
Mathematical challenges for able pupils in Key Stages 1 and 2)
You and your two friends go on a treasure
hunt and after a long search you find three piles of gold bars.
|
|
|
|
So that you can share the gold fairly,
how many bars would you have to move to make 3 equal piles?
|
|
. |
|
If you had the same number of bars in four piles, how
could you arrange them so you still had to move 2 bars to make the piles
equal? |
|
Could
you make up a problem where you would have to move 4 gold bars?
|
|
If
the bars were worth £100, £10 or £1, how much could they be worth
altogether? |
|
Can
you describe the piles you can see to a friend who cannot see them so
they can use brick to arrange the piles in the same way?

Key Stage 2 : The Tower of
Hanoi (Smile ‘Mathematical Puzzles’)
There is a pile of discs on a pole that
have to be moved onto another pole.
|
|
 |
|
The discs can only be moved one at a time
and a larger disc can never be placed on top of a smaller disc.
