Friday Challenge: 12th June
I have been thinking about arranging the tables and chairs in the classroom.
Here is the arrangement that I have decided upon:
How many chairs are needed for 1 table?
How many chairs are needed for 2 tables?
How many chairs are needed for 3 tables?
Can you draw a diagram to show how many chairs would be needed for 4 tables?
Can you draw a diagram to show how many chairs would be needed for 5 tables?
Can you record your findings in a table?

Number of Tables |
Number of Chairs |

1 |

|
2 |
|
|
3 |
|
|
4 |
|
|
5 |

Can you spot a pattern in your results?
Can you explain the pattern?
Can you use this pattern to predict how many chairs you will need for 6 tables?
Now draw a diagram showing 6 tables. Was your prediction correct?
