Ballast - Maths Pickle

Today was a lot of fun. In maths, we have been investigating problems which are open-ended and don't have an immediate solution. These require a bit of perseverance and resilience.

The objective of the puzzle is to balance the ship...but first of all the students had to learn the rules...not easy when the teacher won't tell them! Letting the class slowly learn by making mistakes was fun!!!

Keep your eyes on the students' blogs to follow how the puzzles are progressing
