Challenge Level

We haven't received any solutions to this one yet. Do let us know if you come up with anything.

We have, however, received an investigation created by Ciara and Lily from Gresham Primary School, which has links to this challenge.  They say:



If I spun both spinners and added the two numbers together what is the most frequently occurring answer?
What is the probability of these results?
What is the most systematic way of doing this?

This is a great challenge, thank you for sending it in to us!

If you need to save time for yourself or you would like to look at the kinds of things that happen here I've printed for you the results for the sum ( 1 up to 8)
