Wyvern St. Edmund’s Maths Department

Take two numbers with a difference of two. Add the reciprocals. The numerator and the denominator of the result are the two short sides of a pythagorean triple. Eg ⅓+⅕=8/15 8²+15²=17²

I'm thinking about how we as a department can systematically help pupils get better at problem solving; interested to know what others do? RT's greatly appreciated! @mrbartonmaths @jemmaths @mathsjem @naveenfrizvi @mathsmrgordon @Noni_Rainbow @hegartymaths @amandamckay235

Year 7 students will all be given a TimesTables rock stars login this week. Log on and start earning gold coins!
