### Exploring Wild & Wonderful Number Patterns

EWWNP means Exploring Wild and Wonderful Number Patterns Created by Yourself! Investigate what happens if we create number patterns using some simple rules.

### I'm Eight

Find a great variety of ways of asking questions which make 8.

### Sending Cards

This challenge asks you to investigate the total number of cards that would be sent if four children send one to all three others. How many would be sent if there were five children? Six?

# Route Product

##### Stage: 2 Challenge Level:

Neil from Kells Lande Primary School wrote to say:

The route with the largest product is going up from A along the $5$ line, and down along the $2$ line, and then along the $0.5$ line to B, which has a product of $5$.
The route with the smallest product is to go horizontally along the $3$ line from A, then down the first $0.5$ line, along the $1$ line going horizontally, and then up to B along the $0.1$ line, which has a product of $0.15$.

You're right, well done, Neil. Class K's Magic Mathematicians at Charter Primary School told us how they found out the solution:

We worked in a group of four and found out all the routes from A to B, then we did all the sums and worked out all the answers.

Many of you also said that to find the largest and smallest products, it helped to look for the largest and smallest numbers. That's a good strategy, well done.
