Trains of one colour
Your turn — Investigate one colour
Choose a red, light green, pink or yellow rod.
Using only rods of that colour, investigate target rods that are at least as long as your chosen rod.
- Which target rods can you make exactly?
- Which can you not make exactly?
- Record the equivalences you find using colour letters.
If a target cannot be made exactly, how close can you get without going past it? What is left over?
Organise your results so somebody else can see the pattern.
