KEGS Maths Puzzle Day.

Today a majority of children in Year 6 visited KEGS to participate in the Puzzle Maths Day. I was with two children, Lewis and Sherry, we worked well together and solved lots of puzzles.

We also played a game of "Nims", where you have to choose a number between 20 and 30 and the last person to take a pen loses. The key to winning is to start with 22 and take 1, if they take 3 (which is the maximum amount of pens you can take in a turn.) you take one and that adds up to 4 carry on making the amount of pens add up to four and you've won.

It was a lot of fun and i'd love to go again!

Today, a group of children both in year 6, went to a boys grammar school (King Edwards Grammar (Secondary) School), involving somthing called KEGGS. It was mainly about solving problems, of course it is called 'Puzzle Day'. We all had lots of fun!
