With many students staying home for the COVID-19 quarantine, the National Association of Math Circles in partnership with JRMF have created resources for students & families to engage with math from home!
These mathematically-minded activities can be played with materials found around the house and a little bit of printing or can be played entirely online through Google Drive or Microsoft Powerpoint!
Each color represents a different number. Your goal is to make larger and larger towers using your different colors. What is the largest tower you can make using a set amount of colors?
Problems for Grades: Second – Eighth
Challenge Problems: Sixth – Eight
Strategies: Working backwards, wishful thinking, spatial awareness
Standards: I will fill this in soon! I promise!
