We looked at the number of spots that could be produced when you have a four spotted ladybird or a seven spotted ladybird or a combination of both.
We were asked if it was possible to make 16 and we found it is, by using four of the four spotted ladybirds. We discovered that the smallest number of spots we could produce was 4.
We were then asked what number of spots between 4 and 35 could be produced. We started off by writing a list of those numbers that did and didn't work. Then we made a table to show how we made the numbers of spots that were possible and we have attached this.
We found 17 different numbers could be made and three that could be made in two different ways. These were 28, 32 and 35.
