### The Lily Pond

Freddie Frog visits as many of the leaves as he can on the way to see Sammy Snail but only visits each lily leaf once. Which is the best way for him to go?

### Treasure Island

Write down what you can see at the coordinates of the treasure island map. The words can be used in a special way to find the buried treasure. Can you work out where it is?

### What Are You Plotting?

Investigate the positions of points which have particular x and y coordinates. What do you notice?

# Fred the Class Robot

##### Stage: 2 Challenge Level:

Thank you to Amber from CCHS and two groups of children from Moorfield Junior School (Helen, Katie, Amy and Pauline were one group and the second consisted of Luke, Vicky and Alex) who correctly answered the first parts of the problem. Luke, Vicky and Alex said:

The first shape that Tom drew was a square.
The shape that Vicky drew was an irregular pentagon.
Billy also made Fred draw a square.

Amber went on to explain:

We know it is a square and not just any diamond/rhombus because it has four right angles whereas any other kind of diamond/rhombus would have two acute angles and two obtuse angles.

Pupils from Mrs Simmons Class at Aqueduct Primary School sent in a wonderful solution to the final part of the question. They say:

We cut squares out, firstly small squares, $1$ square wide, then $2$ squares wide and so on. Then we put the corner of a square onto ($7,4$) and marked the points out. We did this for every size until we could not find any more coordinates that would fit.
We found a pattern forming and so we coloured in the squares in lots of different colours and layered them onto the grid.
We then listed all the coordinates we had found on a separate piece of paper. We have named each square a letter, to correspond with the list of coordinates.

They sent the following images to show their solutions:

They also sent the coordinates which Fred would have to go to in order to draw all the squares:

A $( 7 , 4 ) ( 7, 3 ) ( 6 , 3 ) ( 6 , 4 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
B $( 7 , 4 ) ( 6, 4 ) ( 6 , 5 ) ( 7 , 5 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
C $( 7 , 4 ) ( 7, 5 ) ( 8 , 5 ) ( 8 , 4 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
D $( 7 , 4 ) ( 8 , 4 ) ( 8 , 3 ) ( 7 , 3 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
E $( 7 , 4 ) ( 7, 6 ) ( 9, 6 ) ( 9 ,4 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
F $( 7 , 4 ) ( 6, 4 ) ( 6 , 5 ) ( 7 , 5 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
G $( 7 , 4 ) ( 9, 4 ) ( 9 , 2 ) ( 7 , 2 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
H $( 7 , 4 ) ( 7, 2 ) ( 5 , 2 ) ( 5 , 4 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
I $( 7 , 4 ) ( 4, 4 ) ( 4 , 7 ) ( 7 , 7 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
J $( 7 , 4 ) ( 7, 1 ) ( 4 , 1 ) ( 4 , 4 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
K $( 7 , 4 ) ( 3, 4 ) ( 3 , 8 ) ( 7 , 8 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
L $( 7 , 4 ) ( 7, 0 ) ( 3 , 0 ) ( 3 , 4 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
M $( 7 , 4 ) ( 2, 4 ) ( 2 , 9 ) ( 7 , 9 ) ( 7 , 4 )$

But this isn't all of the squares. Mrs Simmons class also found these:

And here are the coordinates:

A $( 7 , 4 ) ( 6, 5 ) ( 7 , 6 ) ( 8 , 5 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
B $( 7 , 4 ) ( 8, 5 ) ( 9 , 4 ) ( 8 , 3 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
C $( 7 , 4 ) ( 8 , 3 ) ( 7 , 2 ) ( 6 , 3 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
D $( 7 , 4 ) ( 6, 3 ) ( 5 , 4 ) ( 6 , 5 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
E $( 7 , 4 ) ( 5, 6 ) ( 7 , 8 ) ( 9 , 6 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
F $( 7 , 4 ) ( 5, 2 ) ( 3 , 4 ) ( 5 , 6 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
G $( 7 , 4 ) ( 9, 2 ) ( 7 , 0 ) ( 5 , 2 ) ( 7 , 4 )$
H $( 7 , 4 ) ( 4, 1 ) ( 1 , 4 ) ( 4 , 7 ) ( 7 , 4 )$

Well done! You have obviously gone about this in a very logical way.
