Courtney: "Put the buttons diagonally and the buttons will always win."
First I tried it by only putting the buttons diagonally and now I'm trying to put it in other places to see if it still works.
Welcome to our Mathematics blog for 2019. Our teacher is Mrs Madden. We are looking forward to working together and learning new mathematical concepts and accelerate our learning. Check our blog regularly to see what we have been up to. We would love to read your comments.
Here are our conjectures and we have proved them:
ReplyDeleteCairo " When you put the buttons diagonally the paperclip can not cover all squares." Cairo proved this conjecture.
Courtney "Put the buttons diagonally anywhere and the buttons will win."
Chloe "Put the buttons diagonally on the buttons will win."
Maddie " When you put the buttons on the outside they might win."
We all decided to try it 4 of us got it and the others didn't, we are trying to work out why.
Abigail: "Putting the buttons diagonally will make you win." WE all agree with this one.
We are using our conjectures!! we are proving our conjectures the game buttons and paper clips. Mine was if we put the buttons diagonally the buttons will always win the game.
