What can you see in this diagram?
Could you draw it? Could you draw a similar diagram with just 5 or 6 points around the outside? Try it?
How many lines are there in your diagrams? How many lines are there in the original diagram? Can you find a way of working out […]
Five red-eye frogs and five orange frogs line up in a row with a space between them.
They have to change places but they can only hop, one frog over another frog or slide to an empty space next to them.
Red-eye frogs can […]

Sheep Talk The first sheep talk word is A. To find the next term in the word sequence, each A is replaced by B […]
It is not difficult to put a list of decimals in order of size. But what about ordering fractions?
John Farey introduced sequences of sequences of fractions in order of size, now called Farey sequences. Can you discover his method from the following examples?
Fibonacci (in the year 1202) investigated a problem about how fast a population of rabbits would grow in the following circumstances, starting with just one pair of rabbits:
Suppose a newly-born pair of rabbits, one male, one female, are put in a field. Rabbits are able to mate at the age of […]
In sheep talk the only letters used are B and A.
Sequences of words are formed as follows:
The first word only contains the single letter A.
To get the next word in the sequence change each A in the previous word into B and each B in the previous word […]

Count in 4s to give the 4 times table: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, … 80, 84, 88, …
Now shift the 4 times table up 3 to give 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, … 83, 87, 91, …
Which tables were shifted to give the following sequences? By how much? Explain […]
A sequence is defined by the formula an = n2 – 2n + 1.
(a) Calculate the first 8 terms of the sequence.
(b) Calculate the first difference between the terms.
(c) Calculate the second difference between the terms.
(d) What can you say about the results you obtained?

1.1 The square grids below the continuous line depict negative numbers and those above the line positive numbers. Study the square grids shown above with black squares forming a pattern. How is the pattern growing? Create square grids 9, 10 and 11; complete them with black squares to further develop the […]
