Special Interest: Hailstone Sequence
This problem introduces students to one of the world’s unsolved problems in mathematics, which is, in
itself very cool.
It involves a sequence of numbers called a Hailstone sequence. It is called this because the numbers go up and down again.
For example: 20 – 10 – 5 – 16 – 8 – 4 – 2 – 1
Hailstone Sequences follow these rules:
If a number is even, divide it by 2 If a number is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1
Can you solve it??

Finding the longest pathway across a rectangle
Our learning:
Ryan: maths is about working hard and about understanding.
Max: don't give up if it's hard, our brain grows when we struggle
Cory: we learnt how to cross a rectangle
Jayden: you must always try to achieve something, find many ways to solve a problem.
Oscar: struggling makes my brain bigger. Practice makes you better.
Daniel: you need follow the rules and understand them before.
Marco: fractions can part of division
Timothy: keep trying and don't stop
Anastasia: I need thinking time to find different strategies
Stephanie: I learnt sometimes mathematicians can be slow at solving problems
