Maths frog investigation

 

Year 5 have recently been undertaking lots of maths investigations. This one involves two families of frogs who wish to swap sides to the other side of the pond.

• There are 7 lily pads which the frogs must use to cross the pond.
• Frogs can only jump to empty lily pads.
• Frogs can only jump over one other frog at a time.
• Frogs don't know how to jump backwards!

Many of the children were able to find the answer to the investigation. However it became a lot harder to record how they achieved it and demonstrate their answer to someone else.
