Three children are going to buy some plants for their birthdays. They will plant them within circular paths. How could they do this?
Arrange the numbers 1 to 6 in each set of circles below. The sum of each side of the triangle should equal the number in its centre.
Use the number weights to find different ways of balancing the equaliser.
James from Evenlode sent a very well-explained solution this problem. He said:
Thank you also to Johannes, Fred and Lok from St Barnabas, Henry from Moulsford, children from Jebel Ali Primary School, Alex from Templars Primary, Alex from Maidstone and Beth from Torpoint who all sent clear solutions.
