Staircases

Your turn — Question hunt

With a partner, write as many questions as you can about the staircase without assigning number values to the rods.

Try to include questions involving:

  • shorter / longer
  • before / after
  • between
  • shortest / longest
  • more than one possible answer
  • exactly one possible answer

Choose two questions and annotate the mathematics on your Show Me board using colour names or letters where appropriate.
