Using Cuisenaire rods, make 5 rectangles, which between them have side lengths 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. What area do they each cover? What total area do they cover?
We used the
Cuisenaire environment to record our rectangles.
And then calculated the total area:
We had a range of different totals:
The next question was: What is the biggest possible area? Well done to Samyak who saw straight away how it should be done:
Here's a slideshow of our work:
4B did that too.
