The first involved 15 coins and 4 pots. The children had to find a way to arrange the coins into the pots to be able to make all the numbers 1-15. They discovered that they would need 1 coin in one pot, 2 coins in another pot, 4 coins in another and 8 in the last. We then talked about how these numbers were powers of 2 and also known as binary numbers. Can you find out what binary numbers are used for? The next challenges involved ferrying aliens from one side of a river to the other and finally we discovered patterns and number sequences in a game using digit cards 1-16. There was lots of discussion and predictions being made this morning with some fantastic group and paired work. The children used their growth mindset to support their learning when they found things tricky too! ### Maths Week- Intergalactic Mission Part 2
