EWWNP means Exploring Wild and Wonderful Number Patterns Created by Yourself! Investigate what happens if we create number patterns using some simple rules.
Find a great variety of ways of asking questions which make 8.
If you had any number of ordinary dice, what are the possible ways of making their totals 6? What would the product of the dice be each time?
This one is tough! Susannah from Headington Junior School has given it a try...
"The closest I can get is 8 times 8 which is 64, - 1 = 63.
63 + 63 = 126, 121 is 11 squared.
8.5 times 8.5 = 72.25, rounded up to 73.
72 + 72 = 144 which is 12 squared".

"At first I thought it was hard, but in the end it was easy!
840 + 1 = 841 841 = 29 x 29
840 x 2 = 1680
1680 + 1 = 1681 1681 = 41 x 41
So the Special Number is 840."
