We started with the 4.2 final score, and in pairs tried to find all the possible half-time scores. We wrote the scores on post-it notes and shared our scores with each other. We then tried to find a way of making sure that we had found all the possible ways. We started at 0.0 and worked our way up to the final score.(Sophia and Daniel said it was like sorting decimals - smallest to largest)
We then tried the 3.3 full time score doing exactly the same.
Once we had done that we decided that there must be a way of working out all the possible half-time scores without writing them all down. After alot of talking about it we finally found out that you have to add 1 to each number(score) and then multiply them together.
e.g (4+1) X (2+1) = 15
(3+1) X (3+1) = 16
or you could say h+1 x a+1
We tried this out on our friends.
