Wearing Mathematics !
Our Maths Groups are continuing on Tuesday and Friday this term. Today one group had to prove a solution to the following problem.
Some of us may recognise it as a Cartesian product situation… but there are multiple ways to convince me who had the most outfits.
I’d love to see your drawings, graphs and calculations.
Enjoy exploring the options,
The Grade 6’s were asked to prepare themselves for a fashion show. Every student was given 5 minutes to gather up clothing from their rooms and line up back stage.
Maddy found 5 skirts, two pairs of shoes and three tops to put in her case.
Kim grabbed two pairs of shoes also, along with two pairs or trousers and seven tops and jammed them in her bag.
Who would be able to make the most outfits?
Prove your response to convince me …
