Logic & puzzles • Classes 4–5
Find every possibility
A list can prevent missed combinations.
Take your time. Speak, draw or write your answers.
Here is what is happening.
A systematic list follows an order. With two hats and three scarves, pair each hat with every scarf. This gives six combinations. Repeating a combination does not make a new one. A small table helps check that nothing is missed or counted twice.
Pause. Make the idea your own.
Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?
You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.Your little investigation
