Pyramid Problem Solving

 This week in Maths we had a lot of fun using sticks and blue tack to make triangular pyramids. After making our own pyramid (called a 'size 1' pyramid), we joined them together to make a 'size 2' pyramid. The challenge was to work out how many sticks a size 2 pyramid would take. Next we wondered how many sticks it would take to join all our pyramids together and make a 'size 3' pyramid. So we tried it. The final challenge was to figure out how many sticks it would take to create a 'size 4' pyramid. Do you think you could work it out? Check out these slides to see if you can do it. Have fun!
