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 use this pattern to predict how many chairs would be needed for 6 tables without drawing a diagram?

What about 10 tables?
