Low threshold, high ceiling problem solving task based on weight of dragon eggs.
Taught to Year 1 /2 class but can be adapted for older more able pupils.
Open ended challenges for pupils to find all possible solutions for the dragon eggs to balance a scale with 10 cubes on the other side. Each egg balances the scale with a different number of cubes. Pupils must find all possible answers varying colours of eggs and amounts to balance the scale.
Maths problem solving activity involving following a rule of adding 1 more. Then finally adding together the amount of bricks on each row (or counting for LA).
Further extension challenges included in powerpoint.
