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??

Special Interest: A way to convert our remainders into fractions (this is NOT expected it is for INTEREST only)

Special Interest- turning our online game into an interactive game.

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


Number talk: 13 divided by 5

Here we worked out the links between multiplication and division.
We could split 130 into 100 and 30 to help us- thanks for showing us Timothy. 

Marco saw the links with his fraction knowledge.
