Maths investigations!

We have had fun (and frustrations) solving problems and trying out investigations in Maths this week.

The children have worked collaboratively and methodically to solve them all. There is one, however, that remains unsolved! It was the source of much angst, chewed pencils and screwed up pieces of paper today! Here is.....Albert Square!


A lot of the children managed to find rows of houses that added up to 15, with a different number of people in each house, but their total number of residents didn't match 36!



How could this be approached in a different way? Who will solve the Albert Square problem......?

Good luck!
