Graffiti Maths
Tumbling Down
I can use enquiry skills.
I noticed that the end image is what you would see if you were looking at it from a birds eye view. I also noticed that certain lines go into others. There are 17 vertical lines at the beginning and 13 vertical lines at the end.
The lines that fall into each other are equivalent fractions on the wall which is a fraction wall so ½,2/4,3/6 all go into each other and 1/3, 2/6 and 2/3, 4/6 fall into each other because the fractions that fall into each other are equivalent.
To continue the wall I would go up to tenths. Now ½, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10 and ¼, 2/8 and ¾, 6/8 and 1/3, 2/6, 3/9 and 2/3, 4/6, 6/9 ‘fall into’ each other.
Nothing would fall into the 7ths because 2x7 = 14 and that is more than 10.
