Wednesday 1st July



Good morning everyone!
I hope you are all still keeping safe and well at home.  

It's been a while since I set you an additional maths challenge, so today you're in for a real conundrum!  A very famous Ancient Greek mathematician called Archimedes created a puzzle called the Stomachion.  



A rectangle is divided into 14 different shapes, and then those 14 pieces are all used to create different shape patterns - it's trickier than it looks!  I've put the challenge in this week's Additional English and Maths file, so if you have a printer at home you could print it directly; otherwise, you could carefully copy the shapes onto a piece of paper.  Good luck!

That's all from me for today - take care of yourselves.

Best wishes

Mrs Vaqueiro
