In this challenge, you will work in a group to investigate circular fences enclosing trees that are planted in square or triangular arrangements.
Complete these two jigsaws then put one on top of the other. What happens when you add the 'touching' numbers? What happens when you change the position of the jigsaws?
Three or four brains are usually better than one! Working on a problem in a group rather than on your own is often a good idea. These activities will help you get better at group work.

Class 3 at Levens C of E School also sent us a photo of their final solution. They said:
Well done - you're right this clue does help, doesn't it? But perhaps it only helps if you've already read the one which told you that you need to leave out the tall glass full of blackcurrant juice!
Class 3 sent this picture of their solution:
Thank you also to Owen, Jack, Mollie and Emily from Church Broughton and Lewis from Castledyke Primary for your solutions.
