The Ice Cream Flavours Maths Investigation certainly got people talking about maths, and that was precisely the point. We want people to be discussing their mathematical ideas and exploring concepts in a way that promotes dialogue (this word means to have a conversation if you’re unsure).
In Cathedral school we are going to be conducting more maths investigations because we believe that this is a really good way to help children improve their mathematical skills. (And this is why we are visiting Lambeth CLC on 22.10.13 because they will be setting us investigative maths challenges to solve).
But back to the Ice Cream! What did you think about the investigation? Was there anything that helped you to solve the problem? Leave a comment beneath this blog to share your mathematical ideas.
That food looks nice
I really enjoyed the Lesson when we were exploring with our Partners different combinations. It was really FUN! Can we do it again?
