This week in the Learning Centre, the Stage 4 and Stage 5 Maths students brought learning and fun together with a problem solving activity. With a list of 15 clues and a set of puzzle cards, our Maths students were quickly engaged in trying to solve “Who Owns The Parrot“. This problem is based upon an original Einstein riddle and it’s incredibly tricky to solve!
Our students impressed staff as they applied their deductive reasoning skills, manipulated numerous variables and simultaneously combined information from a number of clues to complete their puzzle boards.
A great effort by all students; particularly those who cleverly worked out the owner of the parrot!
