Special Interest Yr 4: Intake 2

What an exciting time we had yesterday, we had Mrs Stuhlmann and Mrs Cometti join us.

Here we are exploring the Pascal triangle even further and sharing what we noticed.

We created our own wonderings or conjectures (we will explore this word more next week).

We were so fortunate to have so many great questions asked and two enthusiastic Maths Teachers discovering patterns alongside us.

Did you know that every 7th row the numbers are multiples of 7 - This is true for every Pascal triangle using 1 - 7 as the outside numbers.  Thanks Mrs C for inspiring us and staying during your lunchtime with the team to prove this wondering

Miss S noticed and posed high level thinking questions.  Harry explained his thinking well.  Although Pascal Triangle is known for its addition it is also multiplication.  Can you see and explain how?

Please come back and join us anytime  Miss S and Mrs C!!




Can you see how multiplying the row leads to the sum of the middle answer below??
