Today we are encouraging everybody to get out and decorate their driveways with chalk.
What you will Need
Chalk
Masking Tape or Sellotape
Measuring tape
Ask the following mathematical questions when you are admiring your work:
- How many sections do we have in total?
- How many parts are pink?
- What colour is the most common? How many?
- Which section has the largest/smallest area?
- Which section has the largest perimeter? How can we be sure?
- What fraction of the design is green?
- What percentage of the design in blue?
- What is the fewest number of colours you can use so that no adjacent sections are the same colour? Can you create a design that requires more colours than your original one?
